Perlage

Perlage

Bubbly crown on the edges. The minute and continuous perlage.

Perfume

Perfume

The nose spatiates over a wide variety of fragrances, among them freshly-baked bread and smooth vanilla, backgrounded by ripe apple, wild herbs, and a mixture of almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts.

Color

Color

Fairly intense gold, luminous and lively.

Taste

Taste

The palate is creaminess personified, full-volumed and well-rounded in its complexity, releasing more well-ripened fruit over citrus and spice. Here is crisp, vivacious sparkler, but one at the same time spacious and firmly-structured, with a nearendless finish.

Serve at:

06 - 08 °C.

Longevity:

10 - 15 years
