WineSaint
Rich and generous, though warmth from the vintage shows in slightly grippy tannins that need time to integrate. Sweet red cherry mingles with tobacco and cedar in an unexpectedly elegant frame. The wine's inner sweetness and aromatic complexity nearly compensate for the structural roughness. Close to the estate's best work. Drink 2024-2032.
