Tasting Notes

Opens with a vivid bouquet of yellow apples, incense, chamomile, and confectionary spice. The palate contrasts salty mineral tones, sour lime, and Granny Smith tartness with juicy acidity, creating a tense yet zesty performance. Fresh aromas of apricot, grapefruit, jasmine, and orange blossom complement crisp flavors of green apple, anise, and almond. This leaves a citrusy concentration that puckers the cheeks as hints of sour melon fade.
