  100% Nuragus. 12% alcohol.
  
  Quite deep and concentrated honey yellow color. Ripe and somewhat developed nose with aromas of honeydew melon, some sweet apple tones, a little bit of zesty citrus fruits and a hint of ripe nectarine. The wine is dry, moderately full-bodied and dry on the palate with somewhat developed yet conspicuously neutral flavors of slightly bitter apple peel tones, some wizened yellow fruits and a hint of steely minerality. There's some sense of ripeness and richness to the wine, but overall it appears somewhat thin and dilute. The high acidity lends some sense of freshness to the wine. The medium-long finish is lively and crisp with somewhat mild and thin flavors of spicy wildhoney, some stony minerality, a little bit of appley fruit and a hint of ripe stone fruit.
  
  A nice and drinkable, but also quite simple and neutral wine that seems to show some degree of evolution now at 5 years of age. I hear that Nuragus is rather neutral a variety and this wine fit the description - I can imagine this wine would've been even less interesting and more neutral were it opened younger. Still, not really a wine that screams aging potential. Nothing interesting really, priced somewhat according to its quality at 10,95€.
