  Pre-Xmas Indulgence; 12/1/2023-12/22/2023 (Madrid y Alicante - España): Alicante business lounge. Aromatically simple with citrus notes and white flowers. Without too much
  precision by the way. In the mouth at the moment is excessively acid, indigestible.
  
  Sala Costa Blanca en Alicante. Aromáticamente sencillo con notas cítricas y de flores blancas. Sin demasiada
  precisión. En boca en estos momentos se nota excesivamente ácido, indigesto.
