Coppabella Procella VI Hilltops Tempranillo 2024
$70, 13.5% alcohol,. screwcap, Hilltops.
Authoritative. Cherry-plum flavours with hints of both red licorice and violets roll into cola, sweet spice and vanilla cream. It’s plush, it’s generous, it’s well-mannered and it’s etched delicately with fine-grained tannin. Everything in this wine is top notch, including its drastically good drinkability.
