WineSaint
Compressed aromas of dried cherry and cedar give way to brighter volcanic energy on the palate. Saline red fruit and earthy spice notes show Etna's mineral signature, but the wine feels somewhat disjointed at this stage. A hint of alcoholic heat suggests this may have peaked or needs more time to integrate.
