Picualia Reserva
TASTING NOTES
Green colour with light yellow tones, unctuous, full-bodied and with a very bright appearance
Freshness with medium-high intensity of fruitiness with a predominance of green. The leaf is clearly appreciated in combination with notes of freshly cut grass while fruit descriptors appear as the banana or fig tree and highlighting aromas of tomato plant and mint.
Because of its silky texture, its entry in the mouth is pleasant. The attributes detected on the nose are again appreciated, including some more like artichoke and green wheat, with fresh, fruity and green flavor. The bitterness and spiciness are present with firmness in good measure, that is, medium intensity and without exceeding the fruity olive, highlighting the nuance of good grass and chlorophyll that surrounds the entire oral cavity and invades the retro-nasal route leaving a long aftertaste and conferring astringency at the end
Oil balanced in fruitiness, aromas, spicy and bitter while it is complex by the variety of nuances and harmonious by the balance of these, so that in the overall assessment is an elegant oil
