Honeysuckle and jasmine lift from the glass, with bright citrus and melon underneath. The palate is all mineral tension - lime zest and wet stone driving through a core of pristine fruit. Gains weight with air but never loses its crystalline focus. That mineral thread intensifies on the finish, carrying subtle oak spice through the long fade.
