Medium-light golden yellow; attractive, fairly assertive, floral, green apple and ripe pear aroma with notes of charred oak medium-full body; crisp, lemony, elegant, silky, ripe tropical fruit flavors with good depth, well-balanced and structured; slightly harsh on the finish lingering aftertaste; Highly recommended.
