Tasting Notes: Light mahogany with orange and green tones. Very mineral, with intense saline notes, salted caramel, and waxy aromas. There is a spicy background. On the palate, the intense saline impression leads to a bone dry, complex character. It has a spicy and slightly tangy finish with a never ending balsamic aftertaste.
