Drinking Window: 2017 - 2023
Struck match complexity on the nose, which mingles with green pears and dusty granitic minerality. It is dense, smoky and mineral. Spice and tightly-wound richness combines with excellent freshness underpinning the whole. There are rapier acids and it is super linear - this has lovely focus and a fine, tapering finish.
