Smells of wax and petrol, flowers, pear and apricot, faint mint, and herbs. Tastes a lot like it smells, with decent body and plenty of acid. Long finish. While these all sound good, this is actually not my favorite. It reminds me a bit in character (not exact flavor) of a Chardonnay that I wouldn’t love. Like many Chardonnays, I find it has too much malolactic character. 90 points.
