Smoky oak meets crushed stone and lime zest on the nose, opening to reveal concentrated citrus pith and white peach. The palate shows impressive weight and mineral drive, with flinty precision cutting through the rich fruit. Serious structure here - this has the density and backbone to develop beautifully over the next five years.
