 Tasted by tomasio-1 on 11/10/2013 & rated 89 points: The same some my previous bottle. Ripe, but still good. Drink up now... (1119 views)
 Tasted by tomasio-1 on 4/14/2013 & rated 89 points: Clearly better than the last bottle! Intense, bright gold. Complex, wild (spontaneus fermentation), exotic nose, a lot of still fresh (pineapple)fruit with a minerality backbone, silky texture, not getting worse on day day 2... (1235 views)
 Tasted by bopal on 3/1/2013: Deep, gold-flecked yellow. Medium-bodied creamy texture. Citrus fruit provides lift, with added tension and structure from a pronounced chalky minerality that fans out mid-palate. Unwooded. Classic, terroir-driven wine. A trace of heat on the finish (14% ABV). A bit closed after popping and pouring, but really sings on day 2. (1369 views)
 Tasted by tomasio-1 on 2/4/2013 & rated 85 points: Over the peak, both in nose and mouth aging-notes, but still a ok every day new world chardonnay. Has lost its typical spontaneous fermentation notes.

 Tasted by rs on 1/11/2013 & rated 86 points: Past it's best. Drink now. (1309 views)
 Tasted by bitjockey on 10/26/2012 & rated 90 points: showing some age in terms of colour, a bit oxidized. Pineapple on the nose. Intense and creamy mouthfeel. Nicely balanced. Time to drink up - a very nice wine. (855 views)
 Tasted by hsacks on 8/7/2011 & rated 89 points: Light yellow color. Aromas of tropical fruits, peach pits , lychee and oak. Ripe, full-bodied fruit in the mouth with good structure and length and well-integrated oak. Very fleshy and "new world" in style with a slightly wild character. At peak. (1107 views)
 Tasted by Zweder on 4/14/2010 & rated 88 points: Monthly Tasting Group HWS #046; A mixed set of white, red and sweet wines. (By RT): Enormously tasty chardonnay with a lot of ripe tropical fruits. Concentrated. Soft citrus in the background. Still very youthful. 88+ (1453 views)
