Iridescent, white grapefruit color. The palate shows a lightly waxy texture and a hint of roundness. Mineral and herbal notes are the focus of the aromas. A pretty mint top note shows along with a sage undertone. Fresh-squeezed lemon juice and sour yellow plum create vibrant tension on the palate between the bright flavors and pronounced acidity. A light creaminess nicely rounds out the mouthfeel. The finish is medium and the flavors are one-dimensional. Hence, the life expectancy is short: now to 2014.
