Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle, is in a excellent condition and has by the neck level. Colour is yellow, and looking bright and medium. On the nose it is intense, refined, fresh and seductive. The taste is fresh, round, fragrant, harmonious, fruity, medium-bodied, with well-structured and balanced structure. On the palate it is layered and has tropical fruits, vanilla, steely, raspberry, perfumed, cherry and citrus flavours. The finish is medium long, gentle, round, flavorful and pure. This wine is excellent and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 1t before tasting.
