Antonio Galloni - Vinous: 91-93/100
The 2023 Saintayme, 100% Merlot, is a deep, serious wine. There’s a real core of inner strength here. Dark red fruit, cedar, spice and dried flowers open with some coaxing, but the 2023 impresses most with its overall poise. Pretty floral overtones add brightness. The 2023 is a very fine Saintayme.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Independent: 89-91/100
Saintayme 2023 is 100% Merlot and has a deep garnet-purple color. It zooms out of the glass with ready-to-go notes of baked plums, black cherries, and boysenberries, followed by underlying hints of dark chocolate and bay leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a great intensity of black fruit and savory layers, with a firm backbone of grainy tannins and lively acidity, finishing long and savory.

Medium intensity ruby, austere tannins on the opening, this has lemongrass and slate, juicy raspberry and grilled spice notes, slow and steady unrolling through the palate. Plenty to love.
