Big ripe fruit aromas with notes of spice. On the palate tropical and stone fruit flavors with lemon citrus, savory with hints of vanilla spice. Medium finish, good acidity ending with creamy fruit character. Tasting Sample.

Amazing full body PN. It shakes my shoulders every time I drink it.

Color of bubbly saturated gold. Nose is full of ripe tropical fruits, like pineapple, mangos, and banana, plus some nutty note and mineral. Nose is full. Taste is following the nose yet lighter, with addition of some more flowering note. Almost dry and a bit warm from nutty note. Aftertaste shows some more mineral and a bit more sweet. On par.

Slightly overrating this, I think. For me, it fits the profile I wanted. A slight bit of butter, but also some very crisp fruit. Not too creamy.

Pleasant surprise. Nose indicated a fair amount of oak coming my way but I was wrong. Very balanced with a some depth.
