Tasting note
Oily golden yellow tone with green reflections. The nose yields scents of greengage, yellow apple, ripe pear and assorted dried fruits. The dense mouthfeel delivers also light-footed alcohol, a silky texture and notes of apricot confit and lemon jelly; also delicate smoky and earthy hints; enormous creamy fruitiness, noble acidity and a minerally core. Appears calm and relaxing at the beginning; then lively and refreshing on the finish. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
