Rich, deep golden yellow color highlights the fine, persistent perlage in the glass. The nose is multi-faceted: suggestions of ripe apples, sponge cake, honeyed nuances and hints of savory biscuits give way to a sweetness that is reminiscent of pineapple chutney. The initial palate is rich, full and well-balanced, characterized by ripe, well-integrated acidity that blends in with the saline sensations. The finish returns to notes of ripe yellow-fleshed fruit.
