October is intense, saline, lingering fruity taste of marked fresh chlorophyll herbs and apple. Light bitter touch, very pleasant bitterness.
November is light, soft taste although with its own strength from a good maturity point and the subsequent loss of rusticity. No bitterness and slightly spicy.
December is well-harmonised, soft taste of very mature tomato, popcorn, well matured fruit and with a pleasant aftertaste of soothing freshness, without spicy notes and with a very light bitterness.
