Tasting
The color is lemon yellow with green reflections. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine presents a beautiful youth.
The nose is frank, pleasant and bold with an average intensity. It gives fine fruity fragrances, citrus fruit, yellow lemon, white flowers, rather complex. Airing enhances the lemony scents but remains complex and austere. The fruit reveals the perfect ripeness of the grapes but seems to cross through a closed stage. Time will allow it to gracefully mature. The wait is imperative!
The onset in the mouth is rich and fleshy. The alcoholic base is full-bodied. The register is sharp and sparkling where the range of aromas is dominated by the citrus fruit, lime and a fine floral touch with at this stage, an underlying minerality. A long length on the finish, 7 caudalies and a sharp vivacity.
