There’s a lot of lemon here, mixed with white flowers on the nose. If you can dig deeper, you’ll find apple, mint, and the juniper hiding in the background. The palate is much of the same. The lemon and floral notes are right up front, with an apple-sweetness in the middle, dulling some of the initial sharpness. The sweetness gives way to herbs: juniper, sage, and sweetened rosemary, all accented by the ever present lemon. The palate is very clean, not too thick, and the finish leaves a pleasant, refreshing, herbed lemon for you to ponder a while.
