This wine presents a stunning bouquet, evoking aged Champagne with a twist of Jura allure. Notes of bruised apples, Jerez, orange peel, grilled lemon, sea pebbles, cider, and spices create a captivating aroma. On the palate, it offers a more challenging experience with sharp acidity, yet maintains commendable balance and structure, leading to a long aftertaste. The presence of aged baimudan cake and dried apricot candy adds complexity to the overall experience.
This wine presents an attractive oxidized bouquet, with intriguing notes of bruised apples, nuts, grilled lemon, sea pebbles, herbs, cider, and spices. Its palate is sharp and refreshing, supported by nice tannins that enhance its wonderful structure. The slight fizziness adds an unexpected yet pleasant zappiness. It's a nice wine that warrants a second tasting, humorously likened to an (almost) still Champagne due to its unique character and subtle effervescence.
