.
Nose: Aromatic notes include shortbread biscuits, floral fragrances and white truffle. A refined blossoming highlighting the sparkling concentrations of ripe fruits (nuts, sweet spices and roasted mango).
The palate is a full-bodied and intense texture evoking citrus fruit flesh and pears in syrup (iodine notes, mandarin pulp), as well as subtle hints of panettone, bursting with rich flavors (puffed buckwheat and licorice wood). The finish is towards a delicious chalky minerality.
