Reviews
"A pretty nose blends together floral, pear and lemon rind scents. There is fine energy and very solid precision to the citrusy middle weight flavors that are trimmed in a discreet touch of wood on the persistent finish that offers only average depth. I do like the mineral character as well as the fine balance."
