    Color: Brilliant medium yellow, green tint. Aromas: Ripe tropical fruits of pineapple, mango and passion fruit. The second layer has banana, pear, lemon and toasty oak. Flavors: Ripe red apples, melon and guava. Peach, apricot and toast follow with nuances of butter, honey and spice. The mid-palate is full and has a coating texture. Finish: Clean, crisp and lingering sensation of ripe fruits.
