Tasting Notes
Strong amber with onion skin-coloured reflections. Delicately fragrant nose of candied peaches and apricots, later some pear and floral notes. Pleasant grapefruit sourness on the palate, full-bodied fruit and acidity, even some fine cocoa and nougat in the background. Great, pleasant length with a slight bitter almond note that lingers.
