smoke and the merest, tantalizing whiff of toffee apple can be discerned on the nose. fragrant herbs—think chervil and yarrow—also make an appearance. the palate is dry but brims with ripe lemon oil and fresh lemon fruit. this is streamlined and impactful, with a commanding, overarching freshness that only enforces the inherent power of this site more. for now this is tightly wound and still closed, majoring on its ample lemon charm but this needs bottle age to let the myriad notes promised on the nose unfold on the palate. drink 2022–2040.
