WineSaint
Inky black fruit and roasted espresso aromatics show impressive depth. The palate delivers concentrated cassis and dark plum with underlying graphite minerality. Firm but polished tannins frame the wine's considerable power, while violet and spice notes emerge on the persistent finish. Built for the long haul.
