 Tasted by NiklasW on 6/29/2012 & rated 90 points: Popped and poured at cellar temp. A nice straw golden yellow. The nose is wondefully fresh, with green apple and a hint of toffeeish oak. The palate is also fresh and acidic, with green apple and also a slight hint of toffeeish oak. Wow, I bought this 3 years ago and it's been in the cellar since. Wonderful right now, tasty, delicious!

 Tasted by NiklasW on 10/4/2009 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured from the fridge. A fairly deep yellow in the glass. The nose is very nice, lots of tropical fruits like passionfruit and pineapple. The palate is also very good, rich, buttery, lots of passionfruit and a bit of acidity, just enough to hold up the wine, not sweet, very tasty! This is a very good wine, a blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Mauzac. I'm sure this will also get better with some more cellar time. €15 euros from the winery, worth it. 50+5+12+16+8=91 (1199 views)
