Tasting Notes(1)
4.3
This exceptional wine blossoms with a bit of time, revealing an intense and beautiful bouquet. It features yellow apples and lemon, seamlessly intertwined with notes of Jerez and honey. Additional layers of brioche, vanilla, and butter add to its complexity. The wine is voluminous, backed by nice acidity and a long, flavourful aftertaste. The oak treatment is masterful, enhancing complexity without overpowering it, thus maintaining the wine's (relative) elegance and avoiding vulgarity.
