@ GBBF 2014. Not much nose. A bit of farmhouse. Very sweet start of ripe apples. Not much deepness, lots of tannins. Over ripe apples, sweetness and on the other side very dry. Not much deepness and not much aroma at all. The aftertaste is tannins with only a bit of fruity apples. Not much deepness or fruitiness in it.
