Antoine Lehebel's comment:
The wine has a beautiful golden colour with some emerald green reflections, the nose is intense, well opened and attractive, aromas of sweet spices, cumin and nutmeg mingle with scents of ripe orchard fruits.
On the palate, the acidity is wrapped by a fat and round texture in the middle of the mouth.
