This is racy and really fine with beautiful, polished tannins that run the length of the wine, It's medium-bodied and really energetic. Hints of nutmeg. Give it a year or two, but hard to resist.

Produced by the Durantou family, the 2019 Saintayme is a Saint-Emilion derived from soils rich in large stones in Saint-Etienne-de-Lisse. Offering up aromas of sweet raspberries, raw cocoa, spices and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, with a fleshy core of fruit and fine, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish.
