Tasting
Beautiful pale yellow robe, bright and luminous. Yellow fruits, white flowers, and vanilla notes compose an intense and beautifully mature nose. The palate shows a real balance between richness and freshness; it is at once intense, delicate, silky, and long, with aromas of apricot, peach, acacia blossom, and sweet spices. The persistent finish prolongs the pleasure.
