92 / 100"Bright red gold with amber reflections. Intense bouquet, nuances of bergamot and orange oil. Complex on the palate, honey nuances, powerful and spicy wood, salty minerality in the background, the alcohol appears a little later, delicate drying tannins are heard, nuances of canned peaches on the finish, has perhaps already passed its peak in the standard bottle. Tasted: Dec 2016"
