Pale golden color. Aromas of citrus and stone fruits and white flowers. Flavors of orange, ripe lemon, tropical fruit, pears, unripe peach, almonds and fresh herbs. Delicate hint of honey and minerals on the long and crisp finish. Lovely richness and elegance. Well balanced and harmonious. Thanks so much for sharing this one, Keith S! — 7 days ago
