Deep golden in the glass. Expressive aromas of honeysuckle, ripe peach, pineapple, mango and hints of petrol. Medium-dry palate with high, crisp acidity. Not enough flavor intensity and concentration to carry the sweetness, making the wine appear a bit hollow, especially on the mid-palate. Started out splendid, but could really give more.
