"È evidente la qualità sensoriale nelle note di ciliegie, fiori di limone e fiori di arancio. C'è molto di più nel sottofondo ricco di notevole bellezza nei fiori rossi di ibisco e nelle note di mandorle bianche e pietra calda. Corpo medio, struttura tesa e precisa ed un finale proiettato verso un allungo notevole. Che delizia! Perfetto in ogni occasione."
