Aroma Intense and persistent aromas of apple, pear and plum followed by pineapple, citrus, hawthorn, almond, broom and vanilla, offering a complex bouquet that combines fresh fruit with subtle oak notes.
Palate Pleasant and balanced palate with good complexity; fruity notes well integrated with wood, distinctive acidity and liveliness that make it easy to drink.
Finish Delicate and long, with lingering mineral and fruit notes that echo the initial aromas.
