WineSaint
Honeyed stone fruit and candied citrus flow with trademark richness, though the wine feels somewhat muted compared to Yquem's most electric expressions. Golden fruit preserves and exotic spice build through the mid-palate, finishing with good length but missing that final gear of complexity. Generous and well-made, if not quite reaching the heights.
