Light gold color in the glass, cloudy looking throughout with a short, slightly retentive head. Nose of wheat bread, lemon wedges and a bit of wet stones. Flavors of apricot core, lemon rind and a little wheat on the finish. Medium bodied with a medium finish. Good to very good. Let’s call this one three and a half stars out of five.
