TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Bright Gold
NOSE
A mild nose-feel, clean and crisp. The light top notes are green and fruity, suggesting fresh-cut green apple, white grapes and a hint of pear, all combined in a juicy fruit salad and supported after a while by a golden, butter-smooth suggestion of crème anglaise on a puff-pastry base.
TASTE
At natural strength, smooth in feel, with light, velvet-smooth layers of texture and a taste that is toffee-sweet to start, balanced by a splash of golden yellow fruit acidity and light spiciness. Overall, crisp and clear yet also richly rounded.
FINISH
Of medium length, finishing spicy, with a lovely smoothness.
