In the glass, it displays a pale yellow color with green glints and a powerful, fresh aroma. We noted notes of fresh lime, green herbs like mint, and, of course, a pleasant touch of passion fruit. A vigorous swirl reveals nuances of lychee and grapefruit. The palate is pampered by the fresh acidity of lime and grapefruit. The refreshing attack is delightful, also revealing hints of green herbs and tropical fruit.
