Struck flint and wet stone minerality cuts through layers of preserved lemon and white grapefruit pith. The texture builds with air. Chalky, gripping phenolics reminiscent of serious white Burgundy. Sexton's old vines deliver real concentration here. Give this until 2025 at least; it should run through 2030.
