The nose is fresh and fruity. It reveals notes of fresh lemon, fresh tangerine and fresh kumquat combined with small touches of quince and apple. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a slight straightness, a beautiful fat as well as a very slight unctuosity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crushed apple, crushed brugnon and small notes of juicy / ripe citrus associated with small touches of exotic fruits as well as hints of vanilla / woody hints. Good length. There is a very discreet hint of lychee on the finish / persistence.
