the tanginess of grapefruit peel, paired with very ripe bosc pear, is already apparent on the nose before becoming full-blown on the palate. there is concentration and precision. the ripeness of this vintage is nicely corralled and held in check by citrus freshness and countered by yeasty richness and spice. the finish is gloriously enlivening, fresh and moreish.
