Tasting Notes
Radiant golden appearance. Medicinal herbs (sage, marjoram), fern, citron peel, pine needles, gentian, plum, pear, dried fruits, nutmeg, and mineral puffs of rock salt. Sharp and incisive on the palate, wrapping the mouth with elegant freshness and a powerful, almost salty minerality. Extremely long finish.
