Medium golden yellow, silver reflections. Fine blossom honey, a hint of bourbon vanilla, ripe yellow tropical fruit, candied orange zest, delicate hints of ripe mango, mace and orange blossom in the background. Juicy, clear residual sweetness of 138 g/l, opulent but not lavish style, well-integrated oak component, mineral-salty, still somewhat underdeveloped, a hint of apricot on the finish, good length, very harmonious and already easy to drink, with secure certain ageing potential.
