Medium yellow, golden reflections. Fine roasted aromas on the nose, yellow tropical fruit some cookie in the background, a light touch of caramel, also oranges and floral notes, a hint of mandarin oranges. Full-bodied, opulent on the one hand, supported by a great acidity on the other, making it appear very well balanced despite its depth and fieriness. Enormous fruit texture and lasting for minutes, mineral nuances set clear accents alongside the honey sweetness. A great sweet wine for decades. (PM).
