TASTING

EYE: Golden color, clear and bright.

NOSE: Pronounced and complex, slightly milky, with floral and slightly mineral notes, followed by honey and a hint of fresh apricot.

PALATE: Gourmet and elegant, with slightly exotic notes of dried mango. Discreet touches of citrus zest add acidity. The finish is precise, balanced and long, with a lovely freshness.
