Tasting notes
Dark golden wine with a high incidence of greenish tones. The aroma of this 1947 Harvest is full of surprises as it has surprising tertiary aromas laden with vinegar and a mixture of spices. In the mouth it is very full-bodied and plump with remarkable complexity and confirming all the nobility of the aromas with a powerful and exuberant retronasal attack, presents us with an endlessly prolonged aftertaste.
