Cantalupo Anno Primo 2011

WineSaint

Dense and muscular, with concentrated dark fruit, tobacco and mint building through layers of firm tannins. The wine shows serious backbone and impressive depth, though it feels tightly wound at this stage. Cellar 5-7 years to allow the structure to soften and reveal its full potential.
