This is a funky and interesting wine that is not going to be enjoyed by the mainstream. Fresh with some green apples, pears and herbal tones. Decent bit of acidity, but loses some points on a bit of a rough finish.

After a year, this wine is still drinking beautifully. If anything, it has improved, with clean, with aromas of ripe apples, lemon, white flowers and wet stones. The palate is dry, with lemon, melon and stone fruit flavors. The acidity is medium (+) and palate-cleansing. The alcohol is medium at 12.5%. This is a well made, balanced wine with medium (+) flavor intensity and a medium finish. It is fine by itself, but its tangy acidity pairs especially well with rich and oily appetizers.

Agree with previous notes. Some tastes I think I like the acid and mild fruit are good. Some I get a strange starfruit bitterness that is strange. Probably won't try more.

Not sure what to think about this wine, but I am torn between thinking of it as different and unpleasant. There's a bitterness and an almost synthetic, savoury 'cardboard' taste. But at the same time there is a certain juiciness and some clean, fresh notes. An enigma, but I don't think I will buy again.

Yes a bit of apricot and aroma but yes a bit of off bitterness must qualify as an acquired taste wine ( traditional).
