Colour is garnet and nicely transparent. At first sniff, maybe at slighty high temperature, the aromas seems to reveal some age with earthy, vegetal notes and little apparent fruit. On the palate however, the wine is smooth and crisp, with nice acidity, red fruit, spice and quite long aftertaste. With some time in the opened bottle, and at somewhat lower (more towards where it should be, I guess) temperature, the nose is different with generous and wonderful aromas of ripe strawberries on top of everything else. And I'm convinced. Wonderful wine. Maybe I'm scoring it a bit low.

Nice, light yellow colour. Generous aromas of pineapple and ripe citrus fruit, with a light touch of mineral notes. Dry with nice acidity, more pineapple and citrus on the palate, medium bodied with a decent enough aftertaste.

Funky, fermented taste. Reminded me of Hoegaarden. Not good.
