With bottles I wanted to taste the most left behind, I was ready for Exquise, from which I had no expectations as I heard controversial thoughts on this wine. Ripe white wild cherries, cookies, candied fruits (or was it pastilla?) and yellow plums. And a bit of nuts. Fresh, round, and well-balanced. The aftertaste is long and persistent. A bit of wet cellar and Jerez in the finish. The higher sugar level is obvious, but it doesn't disturb me. Very approachable and easy to understand. It's just a well-made one-dimensional wine you hardly remember the next day.

Decent straight-forward bubbles. No secrets, no surprises, just creamy and tasty. Lollipops, apples, crème brûlée, and cream soda. Friendly palate, good value. — 4 years ago

Meh, it's a simple and straightforward sweet wine with notes of pear candy and sugar cane. The aftertaste is surprisingly short and the acidity is lacking. Pair with ice cream, hehe.
