Very different. As others have commented-very floral (almost jasmine soap) with a guava finish. Not prescisely my cup of tea, but very smooth.

Nice aroma, balanced acidity, medium finish.

Apr 23rd, 2016Yellowy-green. Tons of saccharine lychee and jasmine on the nose--the Muscat heritage is no secret here--, with almost metallic mineral, and a hint of Christmas tree. On the palate it's interesting: not a lot of acid or sugar, but also not a dry finish, and it's certainly not watery. The body is solid at 13.5% ABV, and on the tongue there's a brush of sugar and salinity. Finishes with potent lychee, and that pleasant salinity. This is an interesting combination of attributes! Overall a potpourri vibe dominates, so I don't know what it would good with food-wise. Very enjoyable to savor on its own though. $15
