Tasting Notes
Intense golden straw yellow. Fine multi-layered nose of blossom honey, dried apples and vanilla, with aeration delicate brioche notes underpinned by citrus zest and aniseed. A filigree mousse caresses the palate, very full-bodied and complex with a gentle acidity nerve testifying to considerable elegance. With a fruit rich underlay and salty mineral undertones it has great length with subtle hints of herbs. It is a nuanced food wine.
