 Tasted by Goodkind on 11/8/2016: Medium strong yellow colour, green reflexes. Bright nose, not very pronounced. Lovely, fresh wine, well defined and transparent, good acidity, some bright fruit, good green/tart edge to keep it interesting. Good with seafood and not too sweet Asian food. Nothing special, but really nice for the price. (1365 views)
 Tasted by trepak on 10/6/2016 & rated 86 points: Lost a bit of its distinctiveness since the last bottle. Still very nice, but mellowed out and lost a bit of its funky edge, which is a bit of a shame. Now fairly neutral, but with a bit of tropical fruit and decent acidity. (1357 views)
 Tasted by FjordogFjell on 9/2/2016 & rated 84 points: Plukka hos vinhandler i Middelfart 125 DKK. Nestler og solbærblad. Veldig aromatisk, litt beisk/kvist og kvast i ettersmaken. Svak syre. 2 dager i flaske: Bedre i dag, rein fin, litt feitere og mindre aromatisk. (276 views)
 Tasted by rupertg on 11/28/2015 & rated 83 points: Green gold, spicey nose. Medium bodied, almost nutty flavour. Dry, with a complexity on the finish that only emerges as it warms up. Good with food. (1561 views)
 Tasted by bartgerrits on 10/23/2015 & rated 83 points: Wijn 2 van de hamersma tour. Een prachtige witte Portugees! 100% Malavasia. Bij de geur en smaak zou je bijna denken dat het familie is van de sauvignon blanc. Dezelfde citrus geur in de neus, verder heel aromatisch. De wijn stuift het glas uit zoals echte sb's dat kunnen doen. Mondgevoel is rond en prettig en daardoor een kloeke wijn! De afdronk is gemiddeld.x (1464 views)
 Tasted by PT insurgent on 3/16/2015: Lemon, fresh, mineral, peach. (1341 views)
