Notes of tangerine, lychee and verbena alternate with hints of syrupy elderberry, of sweet almonds. The nose is generous, heralding a vintage with exceptional potential. On the palate the velvety texture unfurls to offer minerality and the exuberant vitality of dark fruits and of citrus is followed by the vibrancy, smoky notes and aromas of star anise and violets. 96 points - Gold International Wine Challenge
