Oyster shell and white pepper dominate the nose, with lime zest and wild herbs adding brightness. The palate shows impressive tension and crystalline precision, though it feels wound tight at present. Classic Zotovich saline character runs through the finish. Needs three to four years to unlock its full potential.
