Deep yellow color. The nose is powerful: aromas of vanilla, torrefaction, cafe are mixed to orange, lemon, grapefruit very mature notes perhaps crystallized orange peel,reminding of the orange, Lemon, grapefruit cooked. In mouth, the power of the wine refines: the spicy side is strongly present, and completes a voluminous attack, study middle of pallette again marked by the torréfaction: and again tumultuous wine to appreciate in some years. |
