Picualia Reserva. Picual variety. 500 ml bottle

Producer: Picualia

Origin: Bailén (Jaén)

TASTING NOTE

Green color 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 such as banana or fig appear 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 olive fruitiness, highlighting the nuance of good grass and chlorophyll that envelops the entire mouth cavity and invades the retro-nasal route leaving a long aftertaste and conferring astringency at the end.

Balanced oil

Oil balanced in fruitiness, aromas, spicy and bitter at the same time that is complex by the variety of nuances and harmonious by the balance of these, so that in the overall assessment is an elegant oil.
