October 14, 2021 - Deep gold. Full bodied, alcohol fumey, and tropical mango fruit that’s so ripe that it seems sweetish, and also some intense vanilla and heavy cream. Have to admit the fruity flavours are nice, but otherwise a rather simple, straightforward wine

September 21, 2014 - Apparently this wine is made by the same family that makes Grand Marnier. That could explain the tropical fruit that dominates the aroma. The flavor is better balanced. The structure is ok but it does not live up to the body.

June 12, 2014 - A nicely balanced chardonnay with bright fruit, good balance and acidity. There is some oak apparent but I don't think it is excessive.
