Tasting Note:June 2, 2018
Bright lemon yellow in appearance. Lovely nose with a bit of creaminess, notes of lilac, jasmine, tropical fruits, and a little citrus. Medium acidity (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Rich mouthfeel on the palate with some tropical fruits, honeyed melon, pineapple and citrus zest. Long finish.
