Nose | Complex and multilayered, this blend of Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada nicely harmonizes the fruit, the wood, and the tertiary aromas coming from the long ageing. Sugar-coated fruit, citrus peel, vanilla, honey and candied almonds, punctutated by notions of aromatic herbs, smoke, patisserie, cinnamon and spices. |
