Pithy white grapefruit, flint and lime skin sit above high quality nougat and salt crust in a lifted and intense opening, before an unfolding of praline, florals, ginger, cedar and saline minerality. Air and warmth unlock riper notes of nectarine, quince and lees derived salted pastry dough making for an overall complex and defined aromatic profile. The palate has excellent power, texture and structure, commanding the mouth with waves of grapefruit, salted lime, nectarine skin, citrus preserves, nuts and cedar in a creamy but tensile aesthetic. The wine's acidity is a feature, piercing through it all along with chalky phenolics cutting the fat to elicit salivating freshness, and saline length. Incredibly long length, in fact. This has so much presence and power while still finely detailed and complex. An outstanding release.
