Appearance: Golden amber, brilliant Nose: A woody, vanilla-scented nose, enhanced by sweet spices and caramelised notes. Palate: The attack, quite powerful, reveals spices beautifully integrated with ripe fruit, before the oak and notes of cocoa introduce a subtle bitterness. Medium-bodied, the texture remains elegant and crisp, with a fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. The finish is long and fresh, lingering on the spices and a hint of herbaceous notes. Overall impression: An elegant and balanced wine, where the spices and oak harmonise with the ripe fruit, underpinned by a subtle bitterness that gives structure to a lingering finish.
