  A year after the last time i tried it, the fruit is well on a negative trajectory. There are still some flavors of citrus and tropical fruit along with high acidity but the wine is clearly past its peak.

  Intense nose. Probably one of the best smelling wines I've ever tasted. Citrus Stone Fruit Tropical Fruit Blossom Mineral pear peach Spice/herbal and bubble gum
  
  Taste was a let down after the incredible nose. Pear and wet stone. Lacking acidity to balance the heavy mouthfeel so it felt a bit flat.
  
  I'm curious whether this wine will improve with age so I might buy another bottle to lay down for a few years just as an experiment.

  My first Malagousia so no really reference point, but this was light, crisp, and refreshing with subtle notes of honeysuckle, melon, and guava. Good value and a nice pair with a light Mediterranean lunch spread.

  Light yellow. Lively nose with citrus, orange and hints of peach tropical fruit. Also some floral scents int he background. In the palate the acidity is high and i got mostly white fruit and citrus. The body was medium+ And there was a medium slightly sweetish aftertaste. A pleasant summer wine
