Clear color. Aromas and flavors of lime juice in hot cast iron, acetone and navel orange, candied edible flowers, and under ripe starfruit with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a warming, engaging, medium-length finish with notes of coconut and oatmeal, seared greens, black pepper and grilled lemon, and milk chocolate and hazelnut. Sweet, savory, and earthy; there are good flavors here.
