Lovely powerful, rich golden yellow, rich traces of viscosity on the glass, intensive notes of stewed peaches, most delicate blossom honey, underpinned by slight notes of passion fruit, yellow peaches and stewed greengages – simply delicious in its complexity. Noble sweetness combined with racy vibrant acidity, soft nectarine skin, fragrant fruit flesh, nuances of stone fruit flesh, downright vibrant sweetness-acidity cascade, throughout juicy. Like a noble piece of jewellery, delicately structured, vivacious yet serious. Rust minerality and the local touch of lemon adds to the aroma spectrum, ages perfectly but not necessarily…. Hardly beatable price-performance-ratio. Heart blood may also take on a golden-transparent colour!
