Green apple, Asian pear and tropical fruit. Not as light, bright or vibrant as I thought it would be given that it’s unoaked. It feels like it is verging on medium bodied so must have gone through malolactic fermentation or been fermented in concrete. This is a good try but missed the mark on a few levels… also lots of VA when I opened it, has mostly blown off but does have that underlying smell of nail polish remover.
