Lime zest and white grapefruit meet honeyed quince on a nose that's still finding its voice. The palate shows impressive mineral drive. Chalky, almost flinty. But the fruit remains tightly coiled. Melon and pear hints emerge with air, yet the wine feels locked down, its stony finish revealing more structure than generosity. Classic Vat 1 material that demands real patience. Give it another decade to unlock its full potential.
