This one's fun. Smoke, lemon, lime, meringue, bruised apples, acacia, and a touch of honey - there's even a faint whiff of sherry. The acidity is piercing, the minerality sharp and precise, with a slight fizzy edge. It clamps down hard - so bracingly acidic it almost takes your breath away - but it's delicious. The long finish evolves beautifully, with fruit slowly emerging at the end. A wine with a challenge, but it's fantastic.
