Its gold robe with emerald highlights, yellowing with age, reveals a bouquet with notes of butter and warm croissants, fern, dried fruit, spices and honey. Its structure and harmony merge into a perfect unity. Unctuous and firm, dry and caressing, enveloped and deep, it possesses all the graces under an inflexible character.
