Tasting Notes

From the estate:

• Aroma: Pronounced notes of guava and lychee, intertwined with lemongrass, lime zest, and delicate brioche. Subtle layers of orange blossom and juniper enrich its aromatic complexity.

• Palate: Lavish lemon curd texture gives way to green tea, honeysuckle, bright acidity, and mineral undertones. The finish is refined, supple, and luminous. 

Community tasting from CellarTracker:
