Light, vivid yellow. Powerful, spice-accented citrus/orchard fruits and succulent flowers on the nose, along with fennel and toasty lees elements that build as the wine opens up. Chewy and densely packed in the mouth but lively as well, offering intense Meyer lemon, pear nectar, sweet butter and honeysuckle flavors that are underscored by a smoky mineral quality. Shows impressive energy and nervy cut on the finish, which hangs on with strong tenacity. (aged for 30 months on its lees)
