What do the experts say?

“

Raffaele Vecchione [2018]: ""Precise and decidedly genuine in the primary profile alternating notes of hibiscus, calendula, linden, hawthorn and medlar. In the background there are gentle citrusy notes of mandarin peel and cut cedar. Medium to full bodied, light tannins extracted in a gentle manner and a slim finale which slides into an elegant lengthening"
