the scent of fresh fragrant orange peel has a totally honeyed edge on the nose. the palate, however, has a wonderfully clear and clean-cut green pear and lemon note that simply sings. there is concentration and poise but also a feeling that this might be far better with a few years of cellar age. the beautifully dry palate is concentrated and has impact but is not heavy; the finish is lip-smacking and vivid. it's lovely now but better later. drink 2017–2030.
