TASTING NOTES:
Color: straw yellow with greenish highlights
Perfume: very intense. Apricot, apple, with references to a very elegant balsamic perfume, dominant eucalyptus and pennyroyal. In the ened a slight hint of honey confirms its noble lineage
Taste: rewarding, balanced, inviting, nicely mellow. The bitter aftertaste timidly gets married to a note of volcanic stone, that smells of ancient history
