Elio Grasso Langhe Nebbiolo Gavarini 2014

WineSaint
Perfumed and enticing on the nose with rose petals and cherry blossoms, but the palate tells a different story. Harsh, unforgiving tannins dominate, creating an awkward disconnect between promise and delivery. The raw intensity suggests components that haven't yet found their balance. Surprising for a Langhe bottling typically meant for approachable drinking. Give this 3-5 years to soften and integrate.
