Still very primary. Fruit forward and a bit more syrupy than I expect from Vesuvio. Perhaps better in 20 years.

Plenty of gusto and power this one needs maybe another 5 years as it is still a dense wall of texture with a thick viscosity and very firm and ripe tannins. Loads of brambley fruit from start to finish where fairly straightforward. I would expect these aromas and flavors to get more complex and defined as the wine matures further and the layers of density start to peel off. This should cruises to a higher score as time softens this beauty.
