Underlying layers reveal vanilla bean, toasted oak, a hint of white pepper, and a subtle mineral earthiness. As it opens, stone fruit like apricot and ripe pear emerge, underscored by a faint brininess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A powerful, yet incredibly balanced, entry.
