Tight and coiled with stony minerality, white peach and lemon pith cutting through ginger-spiced undertones. The palate grips with bitter pear skin and citrus zest, honeysuckle threading through the austere structure. Needs time to unwind. The concentration is there, but it's wound like a spring. Long, flinty finish.
