Tasting Notes: Complex nose of candied fruits (apricot, quince), sweet floral aromas, citrusy tannins, tobacco, and mild spices. The palate is smooth, deliciously generous, with superb aromatic presence. A very harmonious combination of volume, structure, velvety texture, and vigor, with remarkable persistence. Beautiful reflections of its terroir and vintage, promising a serene future.
