Tasting Notes
Burnt almond, lily of the valley, anise. A bold palate but the 14% alcohol volume carried lightly. Acidity, a delicate bitterness and spiciness are completely integrated into the richness. Tactile minerality adds freshness. Good food wine.
More about the tastingAbsolutely clear aromas, clearly characterized by ripe tropical fruits, reminiscent of ripe melons, Williams pears and yellow apples. Mint and fresh garden herbs contribute a subtly tart contour. The palate has a rich melting texture, which is (fortunately) countered by a mineral-forced acidity and again tart herbal notes.
