How this wine feels

This feels medium in weight and smoothly rounded, with very little grip. Fruit leads the middle, while balanced freshness keeps the finish tidy. Hazelnut adds a little detail without a heavy oak impression.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
