Tasting Notes
Intense, compact straw-yellow color.
The nose is typical of high-altitude wines, with green apple, jasmine, cedar, and wild honey.
Mineral and menthol notes are well integrated in the background. When young, the wine has primary aromas that evolve into captivating hints of hydrocarbons after 5-10 years.
Full and fresh on the palate. The finish is long and persistent, with very noticeable sapidity.
