The essence of limestone in a glass, this is very expressive, with a flinty reduction that adds to the charm of persimmon, freshly squeezed lime and kumquat notes at the core. Streaks of sea salt and cardamom add to the complexity. However, its charm doesn't stop with the flavor, as the texture is seductive, caressing the palate, but also showing a slight grip. The long finish is multilayered and inviting. — Aleks Zecevic
