This is typical representative of difficult 2010 vintage, although it has almost 9g of residual sugar it is not at all visible due to very high acidity of 8.7g/l. This is my only bottle and I cannot imagine tasting it before now as the acidity is very high though. The wine will improve over 1-3 years.
