89/A-

Tasted by Mike Supple - 08 Mar 2009

Medium lemon yellow core with a clear rim. Tons of youthful, floral aromas explode from the glass. Orange blossom, jasmine and rich apricot are underscored by darker wet stone, and lifted back up by baking spices and fresh citrus. Very floral on the palate with stone fruit flavors of peach and apricot, surrounded by lemon and lime. Fresh, crisp and easy to drink.
