TASTING NOTE
Colour
Clean, limpid and bright. Straw yellow color with golden reflections. Very nice to look at.
AROMA:
With an entry in the nose of medium intensity, the ripe fruit is delicate and intense where it fuses perfectly with certain floral, tropical and mellow aromas. And with a background with balsamic touches and very harmonic toasting. I balance more than personified.
TASTE:
Very pleasant step by mouth, with a smooth, unctuous and very warm step. Fruit and wood very well balanced and with a point of acidity, which gives it the necessary freshness. Long and persistent finish.
