Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Santo Stefano 2009

WineSaint
Bright red fruit and floral lift mark this as unusually open for Santo Stefano, yet the wine feels hollow through the center. Angular tannins dominate the finish, creating an austere profile that suggests this has closed down after bottling. The underlying material is clearly there, but patience is essential. Cellar 5-6 years for proper integration.
