A polished and delicate wine with a delicate earthy undertone, providing a light-bodied and easy-drinking profile. The floral notes is defined by a well blended blend of coffee, mushroom, and rich chocolate notes, which unfold as the wine opens.

Disappointing experience, with potential but a flawed execution. The winemaker's intentions may have been good, but the execution fell short. The wine's development was hindered by factors such as inadequate time in fermentation and an untimely release. The winemaker's decision to open it in a different country may have contributed to the outcome. The wine's characteristics were compromised by external factors, highlighting transportation. The winemaker's efforts to rectify the situation are commendable, but ultimately, the wine's quality suffered. It is clear that the winemaker has a lot to learn.

Wine with a sour state and a fruity aftertaste, distinguished by a light color. It is a wine that will be returned.
