Not quite as rich as the previous vintage but the bright apple and pear fruit are still here. And for 20 bucks it is very hard to bet this.

Light brioche and bright honeysuckle and green apples on the nose, but not as lively on the palate and very little fruit on the finish. I find myself longing for a fuller body; it feels a little thin.
