Vanilla, marshmallow, lemon, pine forest, slightly green — young but clean
Sweet and clean — pineapple cube sweets, vanilla, cracked pepper, sweet barley, light tropical fruit
Short — slightly bitter, drying oak — the youth showing, but the price forgiving everything

Vanilla marshmallow nose. Sweet pineapple palate. Short drying finish. Young but clean at an unbeatable price.
