ANGULLONG WINES MONTEPULCIANO 2022 ($30 / Orange NSW)
The opening nose and palate deliver a lift of maraschino cherries, dried herbs and a hint of herby floralness. The 14% Alc component supports the grippy but fine tannins. It is currently generously flavoursome with a waft of forest floor funkiness. It's well suited to mushroom-based dishes and hearty meaty casseroles. Drink now.
