Nose

The aromas are earthy-sweet, like sweet basil, marigolds, and thyme flowers. 

Taste

In the mouth the texture is supple and round, filling the palate with notes of white flowers, lemon blossom, and a touch of spruce. Dried citrus peel sharpness is balanced by cool minerals and a creamy coffee undertone. The finish is crisp and light.
