Medium straw yellow. Creamy texture on the palate and aspect to the nose. Lots of ripe tropical, and white floral notes on the nose. Undertones of smoke and honeysuckle. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Tons of oaky notes with citrus and tropical fruits. Texture that seems even a little bit like tannins. Long and lingering finish.
