  Youthful greenish color. Super-fruity and sweet-toned nose of banana, pear drops, some pineapple and a little bit of Hubba Bubba. The wine is full-bodied, tropical and quite flat with low acidity and very fruity, monotonic flavors of exotic fruits, banana, some pear drops and a little bit of Hubba Bubba. The wine just tastes cheap. There is no structure to speak of. The finish is short, soft and dull with brief, flabby flavors of tropical fruits, pear drops, some banana and a little bit of candy floss.
  
  Ugh. A horrible concoction. Feels like it is made from grapes that are not just way too overripe, but simply unsuitable for making wine. This doesn't feel or taste like wine at all, with its candied exotic fruit flavors and barely noticeable acidity. A sorry excuse for a Chardonnay and a rip-off at 11,65€.
