Giorgio Pelissero Langhe Nebbiolo 2016

WineSaint

Brooding and austere, with blackberry and plum locked behind formidable tannins. Cedar, tobacco and earth emerge slowly, but the wine feels locked down and muscular. There's quality fruit underneath, but this needs serious cellaring to shed its current grip. Drink 2024-2032.
