Tightly wound and electric. White nectarine, wet stone and struck flint lead to a palate of exceptional precision. The texture is dense, almost oily, but a spine of crystalline acidity keeps everything taut. Builds impressive power through the mid-palate before closing with mineral grip. Outperforms the excellent 2021.
