"A color between gold and amber. A fine flint-smoky tone covering the fruit and the flavor of the wine with caramelized apples, raisins, dry fruits. On the palate, surprisingly fresh, even a gripping acidity, which eliberates the wine from its oxidative notes, slightly oily in consistency, cinnamon and nutmeg, dark chocolate and some candied orange peel, and slightly nutty-sweet Rancio, very long finish. 95 points."

"The best sweet wines in the world"
