Winemaker's Notes
Mouth is fresh and slightly mellow, where the fruit (quince, pineapple) mixes with the floral touches (acacia, linden) . Long and persistent fresh finish.

Winemaker's Notes
Intense robe, yellow or with glints of green, turning to antique gold with hints of amber. Intense and complex nose, aromas of flowers, white fruits, candied citrus fruits and exotic fruits in the early years, which after 5 to 10 years evolve into hints of precious wood, dried or candied fruit, honey and roasted almonds, generally marked by strong minerality. Later on they will also offer hints of waxy gentian. Powerful opulence on the palate with a strong fat richness, giving these very sweet wines exemplary balance between mellowness and liveliness.
