Waxy texture meets honeyed depth in this compelling old-vine expression. Grilled almonds, dried thyme and lanolin create an aromatic tapestry of remarkable intensity. The palate shows generous weight without heaviness, carried by gentle acidity that provides structure rather than lift. At peak now.
