In the glass, this pours a deep gold with amber highlights. The nose is intense and layered, showing ripe apricot, quince paste, candied citrus peel, and acacia honey, followed by hints of saffron, mushroom, and lanolin. On the palate, the wine is dense and unctuous with a broad texture, supported by vivid acidity that keeps it lifted. Flavors of marmalade, baked apple, dried pineapple, and chamomile tea build through the mid-palate, layered with mineral undertones and light oxidative notes from bottle age. The finish is long and honeyed, with lingering spice, citrus oil, and a mouth-coating waxy richness.
