TASTING NOTES
Straw color (still in barrel), the nose has lovely aromatic notes of tropical fruit, such as lychee, mango, and
pineapple, followed by aromas of quince, toasted almonds and acacia flowers.
The palate is round and smooth with a good balance between freshness and fullness. This wine distinguishes
itself by a good density and remarkable finesse.
The finish is long, with its vivacity and its power. Overall, this vintage is marked by its elegance
