Clear, transparent green to white straw hue with a sleek surface. Minty, stony nose that borders on earthy, chalk dust and lime zest, vague apricot to peach, pear fruit scents, close to bordering on empty, nothing going on. Light-bodied, huge acidic pucker to it. Lots of stone, chalk dust. As in the nose, not much fruit, what's there zippy tropical pineapple, nectarine, papaya, passion fruit that gets a charge from the lime, lemon citrus. Finishes weakly as the dryness eviscerates the fruit. Leaves an impression of a touch of woodiness. Probably what it is supposed to be, not moving much and perhaps in shutdown mode.
