The palate is often described as medium-bodied with good length, featuring flavors of caramelized pear, bitter orange rind, marmalade, quince, mandarin, dried apricot, peach, bergamot honey, marzipan, toffee, and fresh caramel. While some notes suggest it might be past its prime or in decline, particularly in half bottles, others highlight its well-kept acidity balancing the sweetness, making it still enjoyable. 【Vivacious bouquet with excellent acidity】.
