Ratings
This wine, while straightforward and lacking complexity, becomes more appealing when its price is not considered. It features pleasant notes of yellow fruits and citrus, accompanied by a strong bakery aroma. The aftertaste is relatively long, though it lacks persistence, making it a decent option for casual enjoyment.
Just a few years ago I decided to buy this wine. After all, a loud name meets my curiosity. Yet a person I trust advised me not to waste money on the Yellow Label. So I waited for an opportunity to taste it either for free (haha) or at some wine-tasting event.
Long story short, the chance has come. It was served blind, so no prejudice. A generic crowd-pleaser with no character and soul. Which is not bad per se (when the price is right). Plan, round and not fascinating. Citrus, brioche and pears. Not something you remember even an hour after you taste it.
