Oyster shell and crushed limestone frame ripe apple and stone fruit. The palate shows impressive concentration with razor-sharp acidity cutting through the textural richness. Builds beautifully toward a finish marked by wet stone and herb-tinged citrus oils. Tightly wound now, needs five years minimum.
