One-third is aged in older barrels

and although I still bought a financially irresponsible amount of wine

It's one of the most approachable Pinots in the lineup

Sandeman, Vau Vintage Vintage:2000 One-third is aged in olderMedium 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
