This smells superripe—the fruit seems almost caramelized—but there’s also a refreshing bright beam of citrus as well, bringing the sweetness into balance. At the moment, there’s a bit of a disconnect between the honeyed flavors and crisp, lime-like acids, but these elements should come into better harmony over the next few years.
