with 30% new oak

There is excellent volume and solid power to the rich

The wine feels like it could be ready to drink now

This isn’t quite as complex but there is even better length

This is excellent but it would not make a good choice for early drinking

Sandeman, Vau Vintage other_regions_italy with 30% new oakMedium ruby. Sexy, superripe aromas of grapey dark fruits, mocha, maple syrup and roasted nuts. Very sweet, dense and full, with a glyceral texture and superripe, concentrated, sappy flavors of black raspberry and cherry liqueur. Pliant and approachable but with attractive framing acidity and solid spine. Finishes with fine, dusty tannins and excellent persistence; superripe notes of crystallized berries along with a hint of minty austerity. Stephen
