375ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Oct 20. Hazed gold with small white head. Aroma has breezy wild elements, lightly floral. Subdued orchard must and farm meadows with soft citrus notes. Interesting, lightly fruity but leaves the impression that it lacks the spark and bright wild edge of its counterparts.
