9.0

Color shows almost entirely transparent, as though it is tinged with a single marigold petal.

Rich apples and salty, ripe pear are prominent olfactory notes.
Immediate peppery grip on the tongue, guiding to bright lemon as it coats the palate. Saltiness permeates and grounds it. Medium high acidity, medium finish.
