375mL bottle drunk 10/1/23. Clear, bright gold. That's a lot of almond that slowly yields to some moderate pear character with bright honey throughout. Bold notes, ultimately too much almond, I think, but it's certainly aromatic. More acidity than expected, as brokensail points out. Pear is quite lovely and the almond is still packed in there. Rich honey, clean and soft with a touch of citrus character. Still rather disjointed and adjunct dominated, but I bet this would be nice in five years once it develops some cohesion and mellows out.

Bottle shared by Yaniv, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates quickly and completely. Aroma has a combination of vanilla, almond and lime with sweet honey supporting. Flavor has a combination of lime and almond with sweet honey supporting.
