  Pale tan-yellow color (it looks young). Pear aroma, along with a gently spicy/savory note. Medium bodied on the palate; lots of mineral; papaya; persimmon; very nice finish --- medium intensity, and medium-long to long length; medium+ to high acidity; 14.1% alc. not noticeable. Good pairing with lemon/thyme/chicken & risotto.

  December 3, 2011 - Very nice tropical fruit- lemon, guava and melon Time to drink up. It has lost some of the lemon oil quality that gave it an interesting mouthfeel. Still yummy but starting to lose some vibrancy.
