WineSaint
Rich and perfumed with black fruit, garrigue and baking spices building in waves. The palate shows impressive concentration, layering dark cherry and plum with hints of olive tapenade and crushed herbs. Supple tannins provide structure without dominating, while mineral tension drives the lengthy finish. Built for the cellar - this will reward patience through 2030.
