Medium lemon with aromas of stone fruits, spice, citrus and yeasty notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & apricot with some lemon citrus zest, honeysuckle and nutty notes. Smooth, long finish, well balanced with lively acidity, ending with fruit, integrated with wet stone mineral character. Nice, drink now!

Bright golden in the glass. Muted nose of citrus, butter and oak. Tangerines, lemon zest and slight butter on palate. Got this one at special price.
