Tasting Notes
-
Aroma: The nose opens with notes of toasted bread, cereals, and hazelnuts, transitioning to softer hints of gingerbread, marzipan, and barley sugar. Underlying these are persistent fruity and floral nuances, including plum, quince, orange blossom, and anise .
-
Palate: On the palate, it offers a round and serene texture. The initial smoothness evolves into a structured mid-palate, culminating in a finish that evokes the sweet and tangy freshness of clementine and grapefruit
