Don’t be put off by some reductive aromas when cracking open this bottle initially – they will swirl off with some effort. I would go so far as to decant this wine for an hour or so to get at all of the bright citrus and stone that’s held within. Those elements are well served by taut acidity, and the finish leans into lemon lime in lengthy fashion.
