Taut and mineral-driven, showing the cooler vintage's restraint beautifully. Bright cherry and crushed herbs emerge alongside graphite notes that cut through with precision. The structure is classic Ghemme - firm tannins and driving acidity that speaks to traditionalists. A focused, linear finish with excellent length.
