Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows a brilliant straw yellow color and nuances of greenish
yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of broom, pear and plum followed by
aromas of pineapple, litchi, apple, grapefruit and hawthorn. In the mouth
has good correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and however balanced by
alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent
with flavors of apple, plum and pineapple. This wine ages in steel tanks.
