subtle smoke hovers above earthy notes and the nose only holds the faintest suggestion of citrus. the palate comes forth with a vivid, leafy purity that suggests herbs, freshly turned earth and pure, lifted citrus. all we get right now are the flavors hovering above the core which is still firmly closed. a wealth of apple and citrus fruit is evoked which will awake with time, this is too young to be opened. don't touch before 2018 and then drink until 2030 or even beyond. this is dry, delicate and yet powerful with a supremely clean finish.
