Tangerine oil and crushed oyster shell lead, followed by toasted brioche and ripe fig. The palate shows laser-like precision. Dense citrus and orchard fruit held taut by electric acidity. Lemongrass and ginger add complexity. The mineral backbone runs straight through the extended finish. Needs five years minimum; built for the long haul.
