Colour: Gleaming, intense golden yellow
Nose: A kaleidoscope of aromas: rose petals, spicy blossoms of lilies, ylang-ylang, gardenia; ripe exotic yellow fruits such as cantaloupe, mango, passion fruit, lychee, citrus zest; spicy notes of dried herbs, ginger, saffron, cloves, cinnamon & nutmeg.
Palate: Deeply aromatic, rich in body & essences, but with fine juiciness & salty minerality increasing with age, a nearly endless finish.
A truly fascinating food companion: pairs well with an antipasto of fish or smoked foods,
ripe soft cheese, white meat, swordfish or tuna; ideal with shellfish & seafood, spectacular accompaniment to spicy oriental cuisine & creative spicy/aromatic creations such as combinations with mushrooms, Swiss chard, fennel, avocado, savoy cabbage, galangal, ginger, oranges, apricots, jams & fresh herbs like tarragon, rosemary, dill, thyme, bay laurel, chervil, saffron, mint or lemongrass which offer a wild interplay of aromas.
