Ratings

3.90 / 5.0750 ml@Andrii Sierkov

The wine presents a quite simple nose, predominantly featuring grapefruit, with subtle undertones of orange oil and strawberry that demand effort to be noticed – a somewhat disappointing aspect for those seeking immediate complexity. However, it redeems itself on the palate, offering freshness, good balance, and quite a persistent character. The nice bitterness in the finish adds an element of interest, yet it might not be sufficient to elevate the overall experience significantly. While it provides a pleasing taste, the lack of depth in aroma might leave something to be desired.
