A deep amber color with greenish hues reveals the wine`s long ageing in ancient wood. Initial aromas suggest slightly resinous exotic woods, ending in a botanical bouquet reminiscent of pennyroyal and other shade herbs.
On the palate, it surprises with endless freshness, notes of tangerine peel, dried apricot and licorice unfold into a core of spiced and dried fruit nuances. A second wave brings a slight bitterness that lingers on the finish, highlighting coffee and clove, preparing the palate for another sip.
Silky and sharply acidic, this is a wine that endures over time, revealing its many layers of elegance and delight with every taste.
