A concentrated, luminous, pale golden hue dappled with intense, fleeting flickers of green. On the nose expressive, very complex and distinguished, characterised by extraordinary purity, diversity and maturity of aroma. The bouquet begins with languorous wisps of elegant, flowery and fruity scents: hawthorn, dog rose, nettle, freesia and elderflower in full bloom, and pungent tropical fruit: apricot, pineapple, peaches, mango and passion fruit. In the mouth full, concentrated and almost voluptuous, the flavours are remarkably structured, rich and creamy, showing marvellous balance between succulence and lively acidity, with fruity flavours of sugar-encrusted candied pineapple and orange or of dried fruit such as apricot and fig linked by smooth, honeyed and delicately spicy aromas. All refined freshness and light, ably seconded by a creamy, perky sparkle whilst the attractive balsamic and decidedly spicily-sweet scent of sandalwood bursts onto the palate to join superb smoky aromas of creme brulee and lightly roasted pralines. The finish is long, persistent finish reinforced by moderate acidity that marries adroitly with extremely volatile hints of toast and the sweet flavour of preserved citron fruit.
