the nose is still closed but already gives glimpses of citrus zestiness. the palate is a riot of both fresh and candied peel, think seville orange, tangerine and meyer lemon. the zesty freshness of the citrus fruit always has the upper hand on this energetic, exuberant late harvest wine and counters the residual sweetness perfectly. killer acidity and utter concentration create a magnetic, delicious, age-worthy wine. the finish is off dry and refreshing, with a sweetish glint here and there. drink 2017–2040 at least.
