Tasting Notes
Intense, very aromatic bouquet with a mixture of floral hints of jasmine, hawthorn, and lemon blossom. Full of fruit on the palate - mandarin, pear, lychee, pineapple. Lots of body and length with this wine which fills the palate. A wonderful combination of sweetness and liveliness. A very successful vintage.

Perfumed and with fine fruit, the wine is full of baked apple fruitiness. Its rounded spicy aftertaste gives the wine complexity and a fine tangy aftertaste. Drink now.
