"First, the intense aromas of lemon meringue pie, lime cordial, mango, and guava will astonish you, followed by a second wave of floral notes, orange blossom, and honeysuckle, and then the scents of crushed stones, caramel, and almond candy." The body is medium to full, with a very firm texture, rich sweetness, and a lively backbone to match, layered with citrus and salinity, finishing with a lasting mineral taste.
