Good volume on entry into the mouth. On the palate it has volume, a certain smoothness, while being fresh and light, with good acidity. Medium length with hints of aniseed. In attack it is sweet, fruity and ripe, with hints of apricot, melon and grapefruit with hints of honey, on a background of fennel bulb, hay and white flowers. Tasty, balanced mid palate with a fresh mid palate, with a frank aftertaste and pleasantly bitter nuances.
