Somewhat flat golden color but it reaches into the rims decently enough. The nose bursts with floral mist, heavy lime zest and some vanilla cream topped by a sprig of mint, genially straightforward pear, yellow apple, apricot fruit scents, its fullness builds as it warms. Medium-bodied and steady throughout, the acidity nudges it forward from start to finish. Floral here as well with sweet garden herbs, whipped cream, buttery at times. Juicily sour lime, tangerine citrus. The peach, nectarine, pineapple to persimmon fruit full-throated and lively. Not overwrought nor overoaked.
