The robe is golden yellow with blond reflections. The disk is bright, clear and translucent. The legs are fine and join the wine with elegance. The robe is bright indicating a young wine.
At the nose, a pleasant intense and fruity expression emerges. I find exotic fruits such as mango and a touch of mullein flower. After aeration, the nose powerfully asserts the notes of mango and papaya, completed by spices such as black pepper and coriander. A delicate vegetal touch of eucalyptus refines the overall. An expressive and intense nose suggesting a wine of a beautiful maturity.
The onset on the palate is frank and pure. A combination of elegant and well integrated freshness, with the volume created by melted sugars is responsible for the balanced structure of this wine. The aromas are revealed with intensity. I feel yellow fruits such as mirabelle and fresh quince associated with spicy aromas, including white pepper and caraway. A touch of honey softens the mouth feel in the second half and introduces a satisfying and tense length, 5 to 6 caudalies, finishing on a subtle minty note. A delectable and young taste, beautiful and harmonious.
