The wine begins with an ethereal lift of dried thyme coupled with candied orange and lemon peels. The palate is dry and intense, as though it were about to reveal the secrets of time held in the rocky slopes where it grew. As a late release, this is a prime example of the rewards of delayed gratification. The palate has taken on an almost oily texture but the tight acidity keeps it elixier-like.
