A bit oxidized. Light brown in color with sugarcane, nuts, honey and caramel on the nose. The wine was very intense yet the complexity was slightly less probably due to oxidation.

although majorly chilled, it opens up and gives some incredible pleasure; bracing acidity prevails and the citrus and stone fruit notes abound; its gold color and youthfulness suggests something big here and that`s true; complex and balanced now and years from peak maturity.

Deep golden yellow. Glorious! luxurious ! A golden palace ornately decorated with golden chandeliers and opulent gold tapestries. A grand gold filled chest of golden grapes, nuts, golden Chrsanthamuns and beaming with monolithic purity of lemon minerality. A column of minerality supports a really luxurious body of golden fruits. Rich yet with superb laser acidity. Pure power and elegance

Savoury, broad and complex. Parma ham, olives and dusting of toasty almond. Lots of development in the glass. Exotic sandalwood perfume.
