He says :           4.5 stars

• Smell reminds me of hay, of herbs, a slight hint of citrus and cat piss (grapefruit)
• Nice astringency, excellent balance
• Taste of pear, citrus (clementines, grapefruit)
• After taste is a bit floral and herbal
• Taste is a little bit similar to champagne, acidic, feels a little bit sparkly/ bubbly, limestone/mineral
• Super fresh taste, not dry
• Starts off softly, then explodes in your mouth (citrus taste)
• Finish is very long
• Excellent wine, I don't really love herbal tastes but otherwise it's excellent

She says :           3 stars

• Smells acidic and fresh
• Apples, citrus, fresh pears
• Fresh in mouth, pleasant at first but then, the finish is too acidic for my taste
