WineSaint
Crushed roses, cedar and dried herbs show appealing lift, but there's a premature evolution here that suggests forward drinking. The palate offers gentle red fruit and tobacco leaf with soft tannins that lack Ghemme's typical grip. Charming in its accessibility, though it misses the structured power this appellation can deliver.
