Light, crisp start with pear, citrus and Golden Delicious apple aroma. Some honey smoothness. Opens a bit with peach notes. Nice balance of bright, crispness and lemony finish with oak sharpness around the edges.

Very pleasantly surprised. Apart from s hint of licorice in the palate could have passed as a slightly mineral chassagne.
