"This is also notably ripe but not exotic with an appealingly layered nose of both white and yellow orchard fruit coupled with lovely floral aromas that give way to rich, generous and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a clean, cool and precise finish. There is a citrusy character to the agreeably dry finale of moderate depth but note that my score is predicated on the assumption that more will develop with bottle age."
