pale pink. Very low fermentation aroma here – candy, bonbon, with light redcurrant – it is an escapist bouquet. The palate has a perfumato topping throughout; the flavour resembles strawberry, red cherry, shows a glow of power and heat on the finish. It is all over quickly. To mid-2014. 13.5°.  May 2013
