Description

Silky and smooth, on the nose immediately emerges a bouquet of herbaceous freshness, juniper and citrus followed by sweet, spicy notes Then wild aromas of mint, thyme, sweet galea, broom, chamomile.
In the mouth it is rich and smooth, fresh on entry and then warm on the palate, stimulating the taste buds with a round mouthfeel and citrus freshness. Balance and complexity are distinctive. As on the nose, sweet notes combine with delicate floral and herbaceous notes on the palate. The finish is very balanced. Water mint, hawthorn, forest sage, sweet cherry, cinnamon, citrus, young juniper: a harmonious combination held together by a delicate, smooth texture.
