WineSaint
Gorgeous energy and complexity from Marco de Bartoli's solera system. Honeyed stone fruit and roasted almonds lead, followed by waves of caramel and exotic spices. The saline backbone cuts through the richness beautifully, creating remarkable tension and lift. Despite decades in wood, the wine pulses with life and shows extraordinary persistence.
