WineSaint
Dense, brooding and almost impenetrable at this stage. Black fruit buried beneath waves of muscular tannin that coat the palate with austere grip. The mountain vineyard's raw power shows through, but fruit concentration feels overwhelmed by structure. A wine that demands patience - the components may find harmony with extended cellaring. Drink 2028-2040.
