Color was bright yellow, almost gold, looked for The Tell-Tale green and didn't see any. On the nose it was melon and grapefruit, wet grass, bell pepper and garden vegetation, hints of citrus lemon lime, and herbs, and maybe a hint of that Tell-Tale 'cat piss' LOL. Medium high acidity, dry, on the taste it was grapefruit, lime, jalapeno, wet slate, saline, butter, maybe a hint of white pepper and green pear. Not necessarily my favorite varietal, but it was balanced and complex. It was exciting
