Tasting Notes
Medium lemon yellow with greenish reflections. The aroma is buttery with a skillful oak influence, but also appears ripe in undertones, almost perfumed with acacia honey, even NUTMEG. The palate develops a lot of drive. Viscosity and fine phenolics are fused with a ripe acidity. All in all, this still seems compact and only at the beginning of its development. The aromas on the finish seem fresher than the fragrance.
