"Vivid yellow. Highly perfumed bouquet of ripe pear, nectarine and buttered toast, with hints of redcurrant and smoky lees building in the glass. Palate-staining orchard fruit and brioche flavors are sharpened and lifted by juicy acidity and a hint of white flowers. Smoothly combines power and finesse and finishes on a toasty note, leaving a sexy honeysuckle quality behind."
