Mid-weight, gracious and elegant, the 2015 is a classic Le Vigne. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint and high-toned spice notes are nicely laced together. This has aged beautifully. In fact, I might be tempted to cellar it for a few more years!”\u003cstrong\u003e 95 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sandrone family runs an outstanding museum program they call Sibi et Paucis—the name is Latin and translates roughly as: for the few and favoured. Each year, about 10 to 15% of the production of their Nebbiolo wines (the two Barolos and the Valmaggiore) is held back in the winery’s underground cellars under optimal aging conditions, to provide this producer’s long-term clients with aged-release wines that are closer to maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is Luciano Sandrone’s dream that one day all his wines will be released only when they are ready to drink. Currently, the Sibi et Paucis wines start being re-released six years after the vintage for the Valmaggiore, and for the Barolos, 10 years after the vintage. It is a wonderful initiative that we, of course, welcome. Each release comes with a stamp on the label to differentiate it from the original release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow you have the third-party notes that pertain to the re-released wines (i.e., they are all recent tastings and reviews). Having tasted these, we can say categorically that they are all drinking superbly. Still young and still capable of further development, they also deliver pleasure now, especially with a few hours in the decanter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"fivewaycellars","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43199691653238,"sku":"21841","price":450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/3331\/7750\/files\/3660_Image1_48e0b519-751c-4783-ac5e-77313316efda.jpg?v=1773536702","url":"https:\/\/fivewaycellars.com.au\/products\/luciano-sandrone-barolo-le-vigne-sibi-et-paucis-2015","provider":"Five Way Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
