Oyster shell and crushed granite dominate the nose, with tart green apple and lemon zest adding brightness. The palate shows impressive concentration despite the challenging vintage, built on a backbone of precise acidity that cuts through substantial weight. Finishes with lingering chalky minerality. This wants time to show its full potential.
