Vino Valencia Tasting Notes
Appearance: golden, very light yellow.
Nose: musk, exotic fruits, orange.
Palate: rose, grapefruit, orange.
Babalú food thoughts: Tapa of duck magret.
Appearance:Pale gold, clean and bright.
Nose: Very full moscatel, peaches and honey.
Palate: Full, fat, rich and round in the mouth.
For me one of the fuller moscatels needing rich food.
