There is a quiet power here, with everything tightly coiled on the nose – a glimmer of slate-like minerality, almonds, lemon pith, and red apple skin. It’s an incredibly complex wine with no rush to reveal itself all at once, carried by a saline tension gently softened by a touch of orange blossom. Structured yet deeply mouthwatering, it has the precision of a Riesling and the multidimensional depth of a fine Chardonnay. Drink one now, because you must – and age the rest.
