In the mouth it is direct with a certain balsimicity that makes the aromas travel the entire palate before reaching the aftertaste, appearing the same components as in the nose directly. Silky and not cloying. The aftertaste is long and very pleasant.PAIRING: dessert wine, combines with crumbs, cheeses, citrus fruits and compotes such as quince jelly.
