WineSaint
Dark cherry and mocha aromatics show promise, but heavy-handed oak overwhelms the fruit on the palate. The vintage has produced a lighter-framed wine that can't support the barrel treatment, leaving the mid-palate hollow and dominated by espresso notes. This misses the mark for what Vanotu typically delivers in terms of structure and vineyard expression.
