Interesting and elusive nose, first mango, then apple, then a melange of tropical fruit, all with butter in the background. The palate is all tropical fruits, mango and fried plantain, baked pineapple and butter. Mouth-feel is smooth, round, with just a hint of zingy freshness. Drink with a Cobb Salad. Recommended. 89 points.
