Citrus oils and white flowers open to a palate of striking precision and restraint. The texture shows remarkable finesse, mineral-driven rather than overtly fruity, with lime zest and wet stone carrying through the crystalline finish. Tightly wound now, this demands patience. Give it five years minimum to reveal its full complexity.
