Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This wine shows a pale straw yellow color and nuances of greenish yellow,
very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined
aromas that start with hints of banana, acacia and vanilla followed by
aromas of litchi, pineapple, pear, apple, peach, toasted and hawthorn. The
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and pleasing
roundness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors,
agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of banana, pear and
pineapple. La Solatia ages for 3 months in barrique followed by at least 3
months of aging in bottle.
