8.0
WineSaint
Explosive aromatics of wild herbs, game and dark spice announce serious Châteauneuf character. The palate shows remarkable depth with layers of black fruit, tobacco and earthy minerality building effortlessly. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without weight, while the finish stretches with impressive length and complexity.
