A deep amber-colored glass boasts an exquisite harmony of rich fruit and sensual aroma. Ripe apricot and tropical fruits are layered with nuances of honey and nuts, and with each sip, a complex balance of sweetness and acidity unfolds. The long finish, with a hint of spice, invites the drinker into an elegant moment. Even after decades of aging, its freshness and delicacy remain, making it the perfect partner to accentuate special moments.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
The sparkling golden liquid takes on amber nuances in the light. The aroma is rich and complex, with apricot, white peach, and tropical fruits, as well as honey, butter, and subtle nutty notes. On the palate, a smooth, dense sweetness spreads, while firm acidity maintains balance. The fruit and honey aromas linger on the finish, with subtle spice and caramel nuances adding a final accent. This exquisite sweet wine has the structure and depth to withstand long-term aging, making it enjoyable to drink now, but will deepen with further aging.

Pairing
Sautéed foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tart
