Fantastic bouquet, complex and intriguing, layers of fresh citrus and barrel spices, a core of lees and barrel spices, some positive light reductive qualities, crumbled stone and baked goods. Delicious, weighty, taut, youthful and fresh with a complex mouthfeel and structure, flavours of citrus and stone fruit reflect the bouquet. Fine tannins and plenty of acidity, texture and length. A wonderful example with best drinking from late 2024 through 2034.
