Tasting
This wine, with its old gold color, presents concentrated aromas due to over-ripening and precise, meticulous maturation process. The nose is reminiscent of exotic fruits and dried fruits (dried apricot, almond). On the palate, the wine is supple, its honeyed tones balanced by the freshness of a unique mineral terroir. Very long aromatic persistence.
