WineSaint
Scorched earth, blackberry and bitter chocolate emerge from the glass, backed by the vineyard's signature mineral spine. Firm, dusty tannins grip the palate with authority, revealing the gravelly terroir's influence. Rich and concentrated, but the structure dominates now. Needs cellaring to soften and integrate. Drink 2025-2040.
