TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, clear with hints of blue. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of melon, tropical fruit, and sandalwood with supporting notes of baked agave and honeydew. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a honey-driven core with flavors of green melon, wild flowers, and citrus zest. The finish is sweet. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced with a juicy texture.
