Tasting

It is a brillant straw colour. The intense, deep nose is marked by predominant notes of fruit (citrus fruit and very ripe white fruit). When given some air, there are extensive, clear floral hints which remind us of acacia or even lila. The full, fleshy mouth shows well-made, structured substance.
