Tasting note
Full yellow. The nose shows soft shades of ripe fruit, pastel-colored aromas of camomille, vanilla and smoke. The palate is tremendously intense and spicy of herbs, indeed very rich and long. The full body is sufficiently countered by a vivaceous acidity and gives the wine a lot of length. In the aftertaste slightly salty. There is still a lot to come!
