Golden yellow with a nose of bruised yellow apples and lemon. Lemon, apple and a touch of a tropical note, but the fruit shades somewhat bitter. Moderately scaled with good acidity. Drink now.

As last commentor noted in August, likely to head downhill. Ours did. Not submitting score as previous bottles outstanding.
