Taste hints

Warm and complex, balancing elegance and depth with toasting, fruit and spices in great harmony. Excellent with pigeon and chanterelles. Bright gold with fine, elegant perlage, it opens on dark tones of leather, coffee and gunpowder, followed by ripe fruit – Kaiser pear, melon, pomegranate – and exotic tones of mango, papaya and passion fruit. Spicy notes of ginger, cardamom and white pepper meld with buttery brioche and diplomatic cake. Full-bodied, structured and enveloping, well-balanced by freshness with a forward drive. Long, harmonious, persistent finish.
