Pale lemon color. Aromas of orange flowers, peach, honey and hay. Off-dry. Medium alcohol and body. Medium(+) acidity. Medium intensity stone fruit, hay and smoke. Medium(+) length. Interesting sweet-smokey flavors. There is a distinct herbal/hay character to it. Very well balanced with a smooth mouthfeel. Rather than shiny fruit it displays more somber flavors, warm summer afternoons in a field, straw, hay, stones heated up by the August sun. The slight sweetness plays nicely with the idea of a mellow late afternoon sun. Once it has warmed up in the glass the peach character becomes more prominent. Drink now or keep 3-5 years.

In short: 
Very good
