Aromas when opening the bottle<\/span><\/h3>\n

What is the first thing you feel when you uncork the bottle, is it fresh, fruity, with herbal notes or does it remind you of nuts? The aroma it gives off<\/strong> is key. And to appreciate all these notes even better, we recommend pouring a splash of oil in a bowl or small container, cover it with your hand to concentrate the vapors, and then bring it to your nose to inhale its aroma and identify them. <\/p>\n

Tasting in the mouth<\/span><\/h3>\n
