Smoky stones and golden fruit build with impressive weight. Concentrated melon and white peach flow across a broad, mineral-driven palate. The finish shows bitter citrus pith and stone fruit depth, revealing the wine's serious structure beneath its honeyed surface. Classic expression that needs time through 2025.
