Description

The eye

Pale gold in colour with green glints. Bright, luminous and limpid.

The nose

evolves in purity and elegance. We discover with pleasure the sweetness and mellowness thought fresh notes of citrus, menthol and fern, rounded by gourmet notes of vanilla.

The mouth

expresses power, delicacy, mellowness and character on a clearly mineral background that only aging can balance. A delicate hint of oak and a very long finish that gives us enough time to appreciate this wonderful moment of tasting.
