Wine description | Slightly greenish, pale gold color. Very complex and sophisticated nose of pear, cantaloupe, and tangerine,aromas of coal smoke, sawdust, fresh yellow flowers, hay, almond, fresh ginger, and balsamic notes. In the mouth it shows a very tightly wound and well-structured medium-full body with an exceptional balance of richness and super fresh acidity. |
