Fresh and fruity flavour with a slight hint of herbs, almond and yellow fruit. Initial comprehensive sweet taste becomes stable bitterness that evokes dried fruits aromas. Spiciness is stable with retro aromas of green fields with only noticeable hint of white pepper. It suits best with raw fish and seafood delicacies but works perfectly with grilled meat dishes.
