smoke, orange, wet stone and earth notes are powerful and beguiling on the nose. the palate has absolute concentration and energy and more of that smoky promise. this is like the bundled focus of a laser light—incisive, precise and piercing. notions of peach, lemon and tangerine dance and hover, but the central core and force remains a kind of drive that could move mountains. this is a sleeping giant, absolute and pure, brooding, laying in wait to unleash its might. the palate is absolutely dry, absolutely fresh, absolutely uncompromising. the finish is piercingly clean. wait for this. drink 2025–2040 at least.
