TASTING
View:
Amber color.
Nose:
On the nose, elegant and concentrated aromas of spices and stewed stone fruit are appreciated. Toasted cereal, tartlet, vanilla sponge cake and Earl Gray tea come to mind. Perfect balance between ripe fruits and tobacco, acquired during aging. With notes that provide all the elegance that can be expected from wine distillation and soft touches of candied fruits (apricot and dried raisins) and honey with fresh and vibrant aromas of peach. Subtle notes of walnuts, almonds and plums.
Mouth:
The mouthfeel is the true moment of absolute pleasure: all the aromas explode in a velvety, full-bodied length, without any hint of bitterness. The flexible body never overpowers the palate and provides a long-lasting finish. Absolute pleasure with an outstanding level of complexity.
