Its excellent acidity adds a refreshing brightness that perfectly complements the complexities introduced by oak aging. The oak imparts subtle notes of vanilla, spice, and toast, enhancing the wine’s overall depth and character. However, the wine’s tannins are notable for their firmness and structure. These tannins, while adding to the wine’s longevity and aging potential, require patience to fully appreciate. Over time, they will soften and integrate, revealing even greater nuances and complexities, rewarding those who are willing to wait.
