Color of bright pure yellow. Nose of buttery notes, ripe citrus, and roasted nuts. Taste is a bit watery, with round acidity and sweetness, some flower notes, apricot, nutty and a bit honey. Aftertaste is a bit flat and marginal with zesty note.

Little acidic for my taste but nice and with some minerality overlaid with butter and a hint of vanilla.

Ancient marine layers and alluvial soils are a result of the primordial sea and shallow coral beds over oceanic volcanic crust (back panel). Fresh with a hint of vanilla/oak.

Nice wine. Red delicious apple skin and Bosc pear all the way. Just enough caramel on the finish. 88 to 89 points.
