Dense and weighty, this shows remarkable concentration for the region. Black fruit mingles with smoky herbs and white pepper in a wine that feels more muscular than previous Sandlands bottlings. The coastal influence provides crucial lift, preventing the power from becoming heavy-handed. Serious structure here.
