Apple and melon aromas are basic. This feels round, with moderate acidity. Flavors of citrus, peach and nectarine are competent, while the finish takes on a salty note as it loses its fruit character.

Simple pear and apple work the largely nondescript nose, which is backed by more of the same on the palate. The feel is almost dilute, while the finish is mildly sweet before turning empty and a bit bitter.

Generic pear, citrus and vanilla aromas are well-thrown together, while the palate offers ripe banana and melon flavors. The feel is lively enough but is showing some signs of flattening out. Walnut is evident on the short, fast-fading finish.
