  12% alcohol, 7 g/l residual sugar and 6,9 g/l acidity. Tasted blind in VV.
  
  Quite intense yellow-green color. Quite reticent, vague and somewhat chemical nose with slightly stuffy aromas of rubber, some unclean fruit and a hint of paint thinner. The wine is ripe, dry and rather formless on the palate with ripe, undefined and rather dilute flavors of some tart white fruit, a little bit of something chemical and a hint of something unclean. The overall feel is limpid, rather tasteless and somewhat oily, but the high acidity lends some sense of structure to the wine. The finish is tart and mouth-puckering, but lacking all taste. No flavors in the aftertaste, just acidity.
  
  I wonder what on earth this wine attempts to be? This wine is not just disappointing, it is hands-down offensive. Horrible stuff. A rip-off at 9,69€.
