  Too short in the fridge (sorry, wanted to eat and drink it with the food), so fairly warm, but he can have it, which is a good sign.
  Simple, but simply good. QPR=8 at € 8.
  Balance, nice dry, good, but slightly rough mousse.
  Especially the bitters are nice, it has not so much a fruit taste.
  TN 21-03-2020:
  Yes, good (certainly for its low price).
  TN 30-03-2020:
  Opens with a loud plop.
  The mousse is still there.
  Again good overall, simple, but no faults, and with just the right amount of nice bitters, some fruit, good acidity and even with a back-bone, and yes, not complex, but has a sufficient length for the price and does its job overall very well at this very low price.
  I suspect that people who do rate this wine low, do not incorporate its very low price and/or are a bid snobish.
  And I think there is a change that it will improve with 2 to 3 years of cellaring.
