Liquid gold with breathtaking intensity. Apricot preserve, candied citrus peel and acacia honey build in waves, while razor-sharp acidity cuts through the opulence with surgical precision. The botrytis work here is flawless. Concentrated yet refined, with mineral undertones that promise magnificent evolution. A monument that demands patience. Drink 2025-2055.
