X-FACTOR
The judges loved the delicate fruit notes on the nose and palate.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, pale golden color. The aromatics are intense, giving scents of apricot stone and cashew butter with supporting notes of dried fruits, Sherry, and slate. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a dried fruits-driven core with flavors akin to baked apple, apricot stone, sultanas, and marzipan. The finish is crisp. Medium to full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a supple texture.
