Beautifully intricate, extraordinarily complex – it carries the sort of purity and linear intensity that will allow it to age brilliantly for at least another 30 years! The texture is liquid cashmere, the structure impressively rigid, yet intricately woven – and although it isn’t as overt and fruit-forward as past iterations, it’s still full of elegance and hidden power.
