This is a wine coming into its own with plenty more energy still

Mauro Veglio, Riserva Vintage:2018 black pepper and underbrushThe 2019 Barolo Riserva Rocche Dell'Annunziata pours a dark red brick color and offers a concentrated and very ripe profile, with notes of baked plums, melding spices, leather, balsamic, and resinous chewing tobacco. Full bodied, it fills the palate with a deep, savory feel, fleshy tannins, and a grounding and ripe persistent finish. For my taste, its lacking in freshness, but it should hold up over the next 10 years.
