Description

From the beautiful and brilliant yellow, the nose reveals intense, clean and elegant aromas which start with recalling the dried fig and honey followed by chasing pleasing notes of dried apricot, candied fruit, quince jam and peach, date , orange marmalade, hazelnut, vanilla glazed leieve final breath. The taste is sweet but not cloying, wide, soft, velvety touch with important notes balanced by a careful note of freshness that makes the "composition" very focused. Lingering finish with flavors of dried fig, honey and peach jam.
