Tasting notes from today: this wine is actually very drinkable already and probably will not last long! Nice fruity\/floral nose, crisp and semi-dry but with a little bit of butter. Flavors of peach and honeydew melon with a little bit of honeysuckle. Really quite surprisingly nice! We are very happy with this kit from Winexpert, yet again!
