Deep orange. The nose seems pretty young with more fruit than oxidative aromatics, but still with very charming orange aromas, toffee and slight earthiness. Sweet, smooth palate, with much fruit still and slight oxidative character. Very long - the nose and palate are very attractive but a bit simple, but the aftertaste is intense and seems more nuanced than the rest. A bit strange at how it only blossoms at the end, but no matter as it's a very nice wine. The alcohol is well integrated.
