This may be too green for some—with very leafy arugula, fresh mint and jalapeño aromas—but there is also some sweeter passion fruit. It is intense on both the nose and the palate. Medium weight, with some rounding sweetness, but riveting acidity built in. Very good to excellent length; some minerality on the finish. LCBO 382713
