COMMENTS: This wine has a trace of citric fruits in it's aroma. First you capture a small smell of apple followed by an aroma of alcohol.
The flavour consists mostly in grapes and a little of grapefruits, alcohol might be tasted as well. It is a wine that starts with a acidity tick and then a fast attack almostly astringent, wich leaves its fragancy for some moments in your mouth.
