WineSaint
Outrageously rich and powerful, with dense aromatics of candied orange peel, caramelized fig and burnt sugar. The palate is weighty and concentrated, building waves of honeycomb, roasted nuts and preserved lemon that culminate in an endless, mineral-laced finish. Pure class from one of the decade's greatest vintages.
