the heady aromatic scent of fresh tangerine peel takes turns with the refreshing perfume of green seville oranges. the palate takes these enticing aromas and bundles them into one arrow-like force of concentrated freshness. this is a high-wire act of piercing brightness and layered citrus aroma. this is like a self-generating well of freshness that convinces with its luminosity, raciness and rapier-like purity of citrus flavors. everything is heightened: fruit, dryness, freshness and vibrant verve. it is tempting but it would be a shame to drink this now. keep this genie in its bottle for a while longer, if only to see what fascinating direction it takes. this is wondrous. drink 2022–2037.
