WineSaint

A brooding powerhouse with earthy, masculine aromatics of forest floor, tar, dried herbs and dark spice. Muscular tannins demand serious patience. This needs years to integrate and soften. The wild, untamed character typical of Ghemme shows through, but underneath lies impressive concentration and aging potential. Decant generously if drinking now.
