Concentrated and graceful in equal measure, with bright acidity cutting cleanly through the sweetness like a thread of light through honey. Peach preserve, apricot, candied citrus peel and a touch of saffron unfold with precision. There's a poise here that keeps the richness from tipping into excess, nothing feels heavy or cloying. Give it a decade to fully reveal itself.
