- Palate: Oily texture with a harmonious blend of sweet fruits, including canned peaches, and earthy peat notes. Salty seafood and a touch of white pepper complement the profile.
- Finish: Medium-long and creamy, with a pleasant sweetness and a hint of bergamot and kumquat that enrich the aftertaste.
