Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Brilliant amber yellow and nuances of amber yellow, transparent.
Intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant, starts with hints of dried apricot, dried fig and honey followed by aromas of quince jam, dried fig, candied fruit, date, peach jam, lychee, almond, musk, saffron and nail polish.
Sweet and round attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness.
Very persistent finish with long flavors of dried apricot, raisin and date.
12 months in steel tanks.
