Tasting Notes
Light yellow-green with silver reflections. There are aromas of fine yellow tropical fruit, underpinned by a delicate herbal savouriness, nuances of tobacco and with apricot and mango in the background. The palate shows medium complexity, a fine fruity texture and lively structure, with a hint of pear and a touch of salt on the finish. it is fresh and overall still somewhat restrained.
