Ratings
Yes, I opened this one prematurely—my bad. It isn't very pronounced or composed yet, but it shows promise (though my score doesn't reflect that potential, as it's still to be fulfilled). The wine features lots of green apple and cream soda aromas, with a touch of buttered bakery. It’s intense and voluminous, reminiscent of the best cream soda you've ever had, but with a nice lemon-like freshness and a long aftertaste. For now, it feels a bit too simple and not fully developed.
