Nose
Freshness is a leitmotiv here, with a bouquet like a florist'shop releasing fresh floral and vegetal scents. After swirling, notes of the south emerge within a fruity aromatic palette ranging from grapefruit to passion fruit via mandarin orange, but also a spicy hint of cardamom and a dash of caramel.
Palate
The great balance between the warmth of the alcohol, the acidity and the aromatic freshness will encourage you to pursue the tasting in order to enjoy this wine's powerful substance to the full.
