Color: Gold
A very nice fruity nose full of freshness. Notes of honey and flowers give it a nice complexity. The nose is a delight of softness and balance.
The first impression on the palate is rather disappointing after a nose of that quality. All the sweetness is gone to make way for a mix of acidity and bitterness. The fruits have been replaced by slightly metallic flavors. We are far from this beautiful complexity announced by the nose. The mouth is nevertheless pleasant, but appears to have some unfortunate flaws.
The finish is of medium length, marked primarily by acid notes (not unpleasant) from the mouth.
Too bad the mouth and final are not of the same vein as the nose.
