Description
Pale yellow color with golden reflections; quite accessible nose; yellow fruits such as apple and pineapple predominate; good pressence and juiciness at the palate. Light minerality; expansive and charming. The mineral structure slightly melts in the background and then gains clarity. Very long resonance of the dryness with fresh, invigorating power. Makes you long for more! (Dathan, 29 July 2010)
