Tasting Notes

Deep, limpid golden color with amber reflections. The nose reveals intense aromatics of cooked apple, curry spice, saffron, and fresh walnut, layered with hazelnuts, almonds, and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine displays a lively, powerful attack with remarkable complexity - fresh walnut, curry, green apple, dried fruits, and saffron notes create a harmonious symphony of flavors. The finish is grandiose and persistent, showcasing the wine's extraordinary depth and the famous 'yellow taste' that develops through its unique aging process.
