Appearance: Crystal-clear, limpid, brilliant Nose: A complex and powerful nose, blending cereal and bread notes with tropical fruits and darker hints of soya sauce and forest floor. Palate: The attack, soft and full-bodied, reveals cooked rice and pineapple before gaining depth with balsamic and earthy notes. The body is medium, supported by lively acidity and marked astringency. The finish, long and fresh, becomes slightly bitter and drying. Overall impression: A complex, dry wine, where cereal, tropical fruit and earthy notes intermingle against a backdrop of lively acidity, leading to a slightly harsh finish.
