White grapefruit and wet stone lead the nose, with dried herb notes adding savory definition. Concentrated and firm on the palate, the limestone minerality cuts through with real authority, framing fruit that's still locked tight beneath a gripping finish. This is a wine built on tension rather than charm, taut acidity, compressed structure, and an intensity that demands patience. Give it three to five years to open up and show its full hand.
