Cloudy golden body with a white cap. This has the mad scientist vibe to it. Lilac is present in aromatics with lemon, pear, melon, white grape, subtle apricot, tons of oak, and lighter vinous and botanical elements. Taste really gets the lilac up front, fascinating! Lemon, oak, white wine, oak, melon, lots of pear, with a drier and slightly tart finish. Wine and floral impressions are long lasting. Feel is bright, vinous, oak laden, and floral in a cool leafy way, great textures.
