Barolo, Italy

WineSaint
Tightly wound and muscular, with forbidding tannins that completely dominate the palate at this stage. Dark fruit and mineral notes struggle to emerge through the wine's austere framework, but there's undeniable class beneath the surface. Cannubi's signature finesse will eventually shine through, but this demands serious patience.
