Description

The first nose is intense, charged but compressed almost impenetrable and darkin its difficulty in evolving into canonical aromas typical of the product inquestion.A sensation of the smell of filed metal and freshly exploded gunpowderdominates, pleasant and typical of high-potency EVO. In fact, after a few minutesit emerges from the initial 'compression' and vegetal flavours of artichoke, greentomato, cut grass and olive leaf emerge, the intensity of which leads back to afruitiness (7). In the mouth, the nasal herbaceous profile is confirmed and abright, unripe vegetable dominates the aftertaste. Bitterness (4) makes a brief butvery pleasant appearance and prepares a spicy (6) of high quality as it is perfectlyin tune with fruitiness and bitterness.There is no lack of spicy aftertaste returns. The palate remains clean with unusualdiffuse tingling (...) An EVO of high quality understood not so much in terms ofthe individual expressions of fruitiness, bitterness and spiciness but withreference to the overall balance of the sample.An elegant oil with remarkable qualities of preservability.Few woody sensations linked to the hot climate and therefore praise for themanagement of the soils and the entire supply chain that has led to theseunquestionable results."
