What do the experts say?

“

VertdeVin Magazine: The nose is powerful and intense, revealing juicy nuances of ripe lemons and pomelos, a touch of flowers (geranium), a delicate hint of kerosene. On the palate the texture is waxy, sticks to the gums, refreshed by piercing acidity which also balances the high alcohol. The notes of yellow apples and pears intertwine with nuances of almonds and grapefruits. A pleasant bitter note lingers in the aftertaste. Massive!
