Tasting notes
The robe is a lemon yellow with green reflections. The disk is bright and limpid.
The
nose is pleasant, expressive and displays a dominant of fine candied
notes but also a delicate vegetal, chlorophyll, menthol.
Light floral note of rose.
The whole is enhanced with aeration or one perceives spicy hints.
The nose is original and characteristic of the vintage.
The
onset in the mouth is ample and marrowy, the alcoholic base is
vigorous. One evolves on a medium with a fine underlying and airy
vivacity. The range of ethereal flavours, marshmallow, rose water ends
on a delicate bitterness.
The finish has a beautiful length and a well balanced vivacity.
The elaborate mouth maintains a pleasant freshness with respect to the solar climate.
