November 1, 2013 - Medium body, dark straw yellow color, aromatic, intense peaches with some citrus hints and floral aroma, peach, apricots, herbal, oily and mineral on the palate, creamy and oaky on finish, long finish, powerful, rich, too oily and creamy, complex and structured, slightly dis-balanced, low acidity, food friendly. Well associated with fish. Serve 7º - 11º. Open at least one hour in advance. Drink now and next three years.
