Yellow green colour with delicate silver reflections. Powerful, multi-faceted bouquet of ripe yellow fruit, fine toasty aromas and smoky minerality. Full-bodied, elegant, fresh tropical fruit notes, salty, fine acidity, nutty touch and fine extract sweetness on the long finish, a complex food companion with clear further ageing potential.
