Wet limestone and citrus pith drive the aromatics with impressive intensity. The palate shows serious weight and depth, balanced by razor-sharp acidity that cuts through the richness. Textural complexity from restrained oak work enhances rather than dominates. Finishes with excellent length and savory herb notes.
