"Bright gold. Perfumed scents of dried pear, orange zest, white flowers and toasty lees. Deeply pitched orchard fruit flavors are complicated by notes of anise, honey and marzipan, with a brighter citrus note emerging on the back half. Shows very good clarity and cut on the finish, with the orange note echoing."
