  Clear pale lemon color, legs
  Clean nose, medium to medium + intensity. It shows mainly tropical fruits with mango and pineapple, apple with a few green notes (stalks/leaves), its only at the end that the wine shows some sweet oak notes and ripe apricot. Youthful clearly.
  Dry, medium alcohol (13.5%), the palate has more impact than the nose, medium + to high acidity, medium body, medium+ flavor intensity. The oak is much more evident here, blocking the fruit with all this chestnut, unripe pear, pineapple and green stalkiness again, medium finish.
  Young and hard to have by the glass at this point, could work better with food, the acidity being a bit more forward. Lacks depth and complexity but then again this is an inexpensive wine (<10€)
