Flowers, green apples, vanilla, lemon curd, and pineapple create the enticing perfume. Racy, vibrant yellow white citrus with white peaches, and tangerines fill the palate, and range long, crisp finish. Drink from 2024-2034.

Smoky gooseberries, seashell minerality, waxed lemons and sour cream on the nose. The bright and zingy palate shows good width and mineral tension. Saline, focused and long. Drink or hold. - Zekun Shuai
