Shimmering light golden color. Fuller bodied with somewhat muted yellow stone fruit flavors along with lime and green apples. A touch of minerals. Not showing much acidity. Touch of bitterness on the follow. The wine was OK, but nothing remotely special. It lacked focus and precision and left me thinking "so what".
Perhaps I should have waited a few years to open this?
