Mustard-seed aromas pierce the nose, which otherwise is mostly apple and pineapple. Lemon, green apple and passion fruit flavors are accented by the lightest touch of oregano and basil. For a cru, it’s rather simple, with extremely light fruit on the finish and very little length or substance to the back end.
