WineSaint
Dense and rustic, with imposing tannins that grip the palate firmly. Wild herbs, leather and earthy spice emerge through the structured frame, while red fruit struggles against the wine's formidable backbone. The warm vintage shows in its concentrated, almost baked character. A solid effort that feels slightly overwrought.
