He says :           3.75 stars

• Slight cat piss odor
• Very dry and astringent
• Very thirst quenching, then very astringent, then very dry
• Dryness stays in the mouth long as opposed to the taste which is very short
• The thirst quenching side has a light fruitiness with hints of raisin, sweet apple, a bit of pear but not a sweet taste overall
• Crisp and refreshing at first, then dry with mineral notes
• The astringent side reminds me of citrus and green apple
• Overall, a decent table wine which is not overly complex but alright : good for the garden in the summer

She says :           3.25 stars

• Smells like cat piss
• Very dry but not astringent
