Honeyed stone fruit and toasted almonds emerge from these 1979 own-rooted vines with remarkable intensity. The texture carries real weight. Almost chewy. While citrus peel and wet stone provide a mineral counterpoint. Serious concentration here, the kind that comes only from ancient vines handled with restraint.
