WineSaint
Laser-focused minerality drives this electric expression from the hillside. Lime zest and crushed granite aromatics show remarkable purity and tension. The palate delivers razor-sharp acidity with crystalline stone fruit that cuts through to a lengthy, almost saline finish. Needs five years minimum to soften its current austerity. Drink 2029-2045.
