4.1
Fairly oxidative and quite aggressive. Bruised apples, honey, a touch of herbs, salted nuts. The palate opens with a punch - sharp acidity and a hint of cabbage, then dips, only to resurface with piercing, slightly bitter notes. There's a deep, mineral core running through it, but it's a challenging wine to process - demanding, intense, and yet still fantastic in its own way.
