Smoke and herbs drift over citrus blossom, with mineral notes of truffle and iodine adding intrigue. The palate shows real substance. Concentrated citrus peel and pear fruit wrapped in glycerol richness before bright acidity cuts through. Fine tannins provide grip and definition. Long, saline finish with layers of spice and smoke. Already complex but built for the cellar.
