Deep golden colour, touch of amber, nose full open round and creamy marzipan nuts character, butter and damp hay, palate full and rich gentle maderization into confit stone fruits, sweet apricot and ogen melon on back of palate, pain grille, acidity not pronounced – needs a cooler temp than white Burgundy to not show lack of acid and hot flavours. Medium to lon length.
