WineSaint
Explosive dark fruit mingles with crushed graphite and charred herbs, Mount Veeder's volcanic soils stamping their authority throughout. Massive structure demands patience. The tannins grip hard but show underlying ripeness. Still tightly wound and forbidding. Needs a decade minimum. Drink 2025-2040.
