San Polino Helichrysum (Red) 2018 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim
Floral pot pourri. Very pale red. Long fresh acidity with ripe cherries, wild strawberry and blossom silky smoothness gliding over the palate and around the powerful, chewy tannins. A lovely balance of a wine showing great potential to age while being beautifully drinkable now.
