"Light yellow-green with silvery highlights; fine, persistent mousse. Delicate vanilla-laced biscuit, a touch of fine yellow apple, mineral, a touch of white flowers, and citrus notes. Powerful, taut texture; mineral with delicate yellow tropical fruit aromas, finely structured in a pleasantly dry style, a creamy texture, and showing very good length. Solid development potential."
