Tasting note
Rich golden yellow hue and massive tears. Aromas of candied fruits, dried apricot, nectarine and a hint of dill. Mouth-fillingly creamy with discreet yellow fruit flavours; also an apple jelly note. Clear as a bell, rich and full-bodied with an excellent structure. Very firm with balanced acidity. Shows noble restraint – and such promising potential. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
