the nose is still closed, there is an almost smoky aspect and a promise of far more perfume in the future. the palate comes with great concentration of still tightly coiled lemon zest notes but the aftertaste is almost salty. this is dry, linear, muscular and toned, affording glimpses of future grandeur through dense lemon and lime zestiness. give this some time in bottle. drink 2018–2030.
