WineSaint
Gorgeous energy from Les Longuettes with white flowers and crushed limestone flowing effortlessly. Yellow citrus and stone fruit build with excellent concentration, though the oak feels heavy-handed at this stage. The mineral backbone is impressive and should carry this beautifully once the wood integrates. Needs time.
