Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Green-gold. Pungent aromas of pear skin, tangerine, bee pollen and jasmine, with a gingery overtone. Deeply pitched but light on its feet, offering broad citrus pith and orchard fruit flavors and a sexy floral quality. Closes with very good clarity and nervy, spicy persistence. This reminded me..
