Bright and aromatic, with a more restrained profile than earlier vintages, this opens on ripe gooseberry, lime zest, and passionfruit, with the greener jalapeño edge now dialed back into a gentler herbal lift. The palate is crisp and energetic, showing juicy citrus and tropical notes carried by lively acidity and a clean, mouthwatering line. The finish is brisk and refreshing, leaving citrus peel, gooseberry, and subtle herb tones lingering. Above average in quality and value if at $18.
