375ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with small, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Woody, fruity aroma, notes of mirabelle, nectarine, some peach, hints of apricot, the furry character of all those fruits seems to be transmitted in the nose via a certain mildewy-spicy touch, cautious oaky, vinous overtones, a touch of frozen strawberry, a minimally waxy touch. Taste is dry, tart, fruity, minimally musty and woody, hints of yellow stone fruit, a touch of green wood, unripe gooseberry, frozen strawberry. cautious tannic, vinous, woody overtones, a minimally waxy touch. Slightly restricted strawberry flavours (no sweetness), nice, if slightly ephemeral yellow stone fruit flavours, a restricted, still supportive, vinous touch. Quite complex and diversified, nowhere tedious.
