Tasting Notes
A luminous golden-amber wine that opens with an intoxicating bouquet of honeyed apricot, candied orange peel, and dried mango, underpinned by the distinctive lanolin and saffron notes that are the hallmark of noble rot. On the palate, the wine is lusciously sweet yet beautifully balanced by a vibrant, cutting acidity that prevents any sense of cloying heaviness. Rich layers of marmalade, beeswax, and roasted peach unfold alongside a subtle nuttiness reminiscent of toasted almonds. The texture is viscous and unctuous, coating the palate with a silky, almost oily richness that is deeply satisfying.
