Tasting Notes

Straw-yellow with silver reflects. The nose expresses floral and fruity aromas with white flowers overtone (hawthorn, acacia) completed by yellow peaches. Wood is slightly percepted and well integrated. The mouth is developed on a well-balanced texture leading to wood and honey flavours. The whole set is dashing on fat balanced with a good acidity. The finish reveals roast and vanilla overtones.
