Our Oenologist's opinion
Dress
At first glance, a bright golden yellow color
Nose
On the nose, fresh summer apricots and white fruits give way to tangy notes of star fruit and fresh citrus, followed by menthol nuances, liquorice with a touch of basil leaf.
Mouth
On the palate, opulent with power and roundness, expressing flavors of cooked, caramelized, dried and jammy fruits. Almond paste, barley sugar, praline, honey and hazelnut take over with notes of smoke, thyme and rosemary. Almost by surprise, the chiseled and lively finish persists with notes of blood orange, sea salt and grapefruit zest.
