An attractive citrine-yellow color with golden tints, this aromatically intense wine has notes of well-ripened peaches, melon and white flowers, which are balanced by a touch of vanilla courtesy of its aging in oak. Lively on the palate, excellently integrated notes of American oak reveal a very long, balanced and agreeable finish.
