A steelier expression than its predecessor, relying on a reductive flintiness for crunch and energy, as much as it does on its bright acidity, this needs a little time to settle. The same luminescent yellow, flecked with green, draws one to aromas of melon and orchard fruits. The oak is impeccably integrated, the finish racy and skidding across its structural scales of mineral, acid and leesy detail.
