Light golden in colour. The nose is interesting with red apples, some hazelnuts and slight floral tones. The bouquet features notes of fresh nuts, apples, pears and quinces.

It has a bit of almond on the finish. Despite being aged in oak it is without any hint of wood, which gives it a fresh and lively aroma.
