What reviewers say
“Immediately apparent are aromas of tangerine skin and bottled perfumed plumeria. Creamy tangelo. Silky elegant. What is it about this terroir? An after dinner fruit cream pie in a sip. honored. Nutty to the max.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The colour is pure and bright, with light glints of white gold. The aromas evoke trees in bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches. With age, the aromas evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit. On the palate, there is a sensation of fresh silkiness.
