Potent and perfumed nose with subtly recognisable aromas of fresh fruits (peach, banana and ripe apple), on a backdrop of oak notes (vanilla, toast). Fresh attack, lively and oily with notes of ripe melon. Good acidity and persistence in the mouth, with marked presence of alcohol. Long aftertaste, enhanced by notes of oak. |
