  Paid $43.00 CAD for it. Pale lemon colour.
  Nose heavy on lemon, pineapple, nectarine and some underripe pear. with a few daisy notes too. Also slight elements of vanilla bean but besides that no evident new oak.
  Palate is dry with medium acidity, bordering on high with a med. body. Mostly lime, lemon, grapefruit, and a minty character. Quite a bitter element too like lemon pith and almond. Crisp with lots of minerality too. Alcohol feels higher on the palate than it probably should.
  
  The wine itself is probably $10-$12 more than what I would pay for it but still very enjoyable. Also the thick wax coating seal at the top was an absolute pain to get off.

  Good wine. Restricted in beginning. Nice acidity in the finish. Worth money.
