Rich amber tones lead to concentrated honeyed pear and dried apricot, with an unexpected mineral backbone that adds sophistication. The acidity cuts through beautifully, preventing cloying sweetness and creating impressive lift. Shows more tension and elegance than typical for this challenging vintage.
