Pale, bright yellow. Reticent nose hints at crushed stone, lemon and nutmeg. Piquant flavors of lemon zest and crushed stone convey an impression of electric energy. Dense and fine-grained but with a weightless quality owing to its powerful stony minerality. The wonderfully tactile, slowly mounting finish displays strong salty extract. Still a baby and almost painfully taut today, but its pungency and echoing length suggest that it will be long-lived.
