Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows an intense straw yellow color and nuances of golden yellow,
very transparent. The nose has great personality with intense, clean,
pleasing, elegant and refined aromas which start with pleasing aromas of
banana, acacia and vanilla followed by intense and good aromas of
hawthorn, broom, litchi, hazelnut, peach, apple, grapefruit as well as
pleasing hints of brioche, butter and toasted. In the mouth has excellent
correspondence to the nose, very balanced, pleasing crispness, good body
and intense flavors. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of
banana, peach, pear, hazelnut and grapefruit. A great wine. La Comète ages
in steel tanks for 3 months followed by 9 months in barrique and 1 month
of aging in bottle.
