Light yellow in color. The nose is very nice. Melons and slight cat pee. It is a big wine. With air, the tropical fruit emerges and a bit of grassiness. On the palate, this has a nice depth. Melons and slight grapefruits. Good texture and finish. That said, I would drink this now and these wines are best enjoyed in their youth. It will work well with sea foods and other lighter foods.
Light golden in color. The nose has tropical fruit. Very friendly. On the palate, there are some gooseberries and slight grapefruits. Good acidity. Long finish.
