Revisiting the vintage. Light burnt orange, excellent clarity. Tangerine peel, herbs and red fruit leather notes in nose. Cherry water finish with tangerine pith aftertaste. Very nice complexity and savoriness holding up well. And yes, the pink grapefruit remains, perhaps less forcefully than in previous tastings.

Back label suggests flavors of “cherry, pink grapefruit and tarragon”; I’d say that’s close but not quite right on the herbal note. Dry, high acid, refreshing and elegant.
