Sommelier's note
“"Brilliant gold with a fine and persistent perlage. Candied citrus, toasted dried fruit, toasty notes, honey and spices. Rich and exceptionally elegant, fresh and spicy on the palate. Deep structure with a finish of extraordinary persistence. The 2002 has a monumental character with vibrant freshness. To be drunk now, at its best 2025-2040."”
