Darker with distinctly green rim. Bottle stick with buttery nose overwhelmed the more interesting herbal components. Also petroleum smell intruding, plus clear volatile acidity. Herbal flavors and high acid, very low sugar flavors very appealing. Grapefruit peel, high acid, short finish. 14/20. I couldn't get beyond the nose, even with aggressive airing. (10/09)
