  Appearance - gold color, pale, clear.
  
  Nose - clean, medium intensity, sort of youthful but sense there is some development happening given color and I do smell other things other than the fruit and primary aromas. They are nice. I get very ripe pear, almost canned in sweet syrup. I smell ripe banana. A bit of coconut and melted butter. Smells sweet. Honeyed.
  
  Palate - off dry, medium acidity. If anything medium minus acidity. Perhaps this is what was lost in age? Still very drinkable but not as fresh and not sure it can hang out much longer before feeling flat. (Aka drink now folks). Medium alcohol. Medium body. There is a little weight in your mouth and a little lingering alcohol burn on the finish. Medium flavored. Tasting - more tropical fruits but a little Apple as well, nose was definitely more enticing and varied. Finish has a bit of bitterness to it. My guess is this is reaching the end of its enjoyment period. It's fine for now and probably would go well with summer meals when you want a white wine with a little more umph, but days are numbered for this vintage.

  Tasted at Aiolos Wine Fair. Light lemon yellow. Pear and apricot on the nose with some herbal elements. Medium-bodied with sweetness, balancing acidity and a med+ aftertaste.
