Bright grapefruit and white pepper aromatics open to a palate of impressive weight and concentration. Yellow stone fruit mingles with crushed flint, while restrained oak adds subtle lift to the mineral-driven finish. Remarkable intensity for such young vines. This seven-year-old vineyard already shows serious potential.
