Tasting notes of Quinta de Couselo Tradición
Appearance: A beautiful pale yellow colour, with steely glints, clean and very bright. With a dense tear.Nose: A glass still gives us some elegant floral intensities, with character, sensations of candied citrus fruits and reineta apple, once oxygenated subtle aromas of aromatic herbs, delicate balsamic, butter, pastry cream and creamy lees, subtle and noble woodwork with hints of white pepper and toast.
Palate: On the palate, ample and intense, with volume, fresh and balanced, sensations of white flowers and spicy fruit, with hints of resin and delicate noble woods, lemony herbs, the palate is creamy, intense and fresh, minerality of river stone that gives way to saline and iodised sensations, persistent and creamy, with a long, elegant finish.
