Tasting notes
Appearance
The color ranges from pale gold to straw yellow to copper gold.
Aroma
The main aromatic range of sweet and syrupy Bordeaux includes flowers, fresh fruit and exotic fruit, as well as spicy and empyreumatic notes (wood, cinnamon, vanilla...).
Wine Floral | Soft | Spicy
Taste
Young sweet whites are delicious, slightly jammy but still retaining acidity. With age, they evolve towards more concentrated aromas, such as the bitterness of candied orange and hints of salted butter caramel.
