Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
Altair shows a brilliant golden yellow color and nuances of golden yellow,
very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined
aromas that start with hints of apple, peach and plum followed by aromas of
hazelnut, pineapple, pear, grapefruit and vanilla. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and pleasing roundness, however
balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent
with flavors of apple, plum and pineapple. Altair ages for 6 months in
steel tanks and barrique followed by 3 months of aging in bottle. |
