Tasting note
Silky matt pink hue with a bronze reflection. Discreet fragrances of strawberry-banana slices, apple cake and graphite. The palate reveals super-clean complexity with notes of red apple, pomelo, Cornelian cherry, cinnamon, lemon and hibiscus. Also reveals a taut grip, delicate tannins, a mineral structure, fine extract sweetness with racy acidity and vital tension. Fruit tea with lemon on the finish.
