a flinty nose of citrus purity hints that this still requires bottle age, but all the elements of a great wine are present. it offers a bundled concentration of flavor and fruit, and a straight backbone of acidity pervades everything with a sense of purity. right now, fresh citrus notes of lemon pith, peel and flesh dominate aromatically, but this will blossom. there are already inklings of honey and orange in the background but only time will reveal what cabinet of wonders is hidden here. drink 2017–2025.
