After a modern style, quite dynamic, aromatically moderate with sufficiently expressed fruitiness, warm, of strong spine and sufficient flesh around it, quite lasting. Of beautiful, vibrant and full straw yellow colour with a slight greenish hue, exhibiting slowly trickling tears on the inside of a glass.
