WineSaint

Warm cherry and mint flow with gorgeous grace through this translucent ruby. Tobacco, worn leather and sweet spice add complexity without weight. The wine has shed its youthful grip and now delivers pure pleasure. Radiant and expressive rather than demanding. Still structured enough to evolve, but why wait? This is Ghemme at its most approachable.
