Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle, is in a perfect condition and has by the neck level. Colour is yellow, and looking bright and deep. On the nose it is intense, youthful, fresh, opulent and seductive. The taste is focused, fruity, elegant, perfumed, with silky tannins, with balanced, concentrated and well-structured structure. The finish is medium long, round, extensive and flavorful. This wine is transparent, sophisticated and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 15min before tasting.

Bright yellow colour with slightly golden hue. Expressive nose displaying a possible oak influence, with ripe fruit, discreet spiciness, ethereal character and hints of aromatic herbs and white blossoms. On the palate well structured with good and refined mousseux, rich taste, multi-layered with juicy and appetizing character and very convincing length.
