Appearance: Deep gold colour.

Nose: It has depth and complexity with layers: beautiful white pepper, nutmeg, tobacco and petrol, apple, peach and honeysuckle with caramel are just some.

Palate: It is huge on the mouth but at the same time light. Excellent balance! It is full-body with high acidity. Except for the saltiness and minerality, some sweet honey notes appear. The aftertaste is long, sweet and complex.

Drink or Hold: It is marvellous now but can be better in a couple of years.

Food Pairing: Try it with lamb in the oven, and you will be amazed.
