3.90 / 5.0·750 ml·@Garage · Champagne Party by Elena and Roma Vol. 3
Quite delicate (or even restrained) bouquet of a single and (lonely) mushroom, baked apples, buttered croissant, tarragon and candied lemon. The wine offers a nice combination of fruits and ageing hints. Fresh, tense and delicious. It's relatively complex with a long and delicate aftertaste.
Wine #2 on Champagne Party by Elena and Roma Vol. 3 event.
