Toasted almond and warm biscuit aromas, layered with elderflower, honeycomb, fresh pears and lemon citrus. The palate is driven by precise lemon-peel acidity, wrapped in creamy, biscuity richness with a fine, delicate mousse. Decadent yet controlled, dry, finishing long with subtle fruit sweetness enhancing the toasty biscotti and cream characters. Built for richer pairings. Think butter-poached lobster, scallops… general indulgent shellfish dishes - Yum!
Drinking beautifully now - 2029.
