There are aromas of fresh rich black plum, nuttiness, brioche and minerality. On the palate, this is all integrated with slight chalk notes. On the finish there is additionally a slight grapefruit bitterness making your mouth water.

With this pairing the slight chalk note appears with the caviar and the fruit is sweetened a bit. After the palate is cleansed the sweet fruit just lingers along to a mouth watering finish.
