Cellarson Does not like this wine: 85 points
December 29, 2013 - Drank with chicken served with a mushrom risotto, which was a good combination. The tase of oak is artificial, which I did not enjoy.
The wine looks Yellow gold colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Lemon, Apple, and Peach. It tastes like Lemon, Apple, Peach, and Oak. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Oily texture. The wine finishes Medium. -
Coldstone Likes this wine: 90 points
January 27, 2013 - Nose of lime, stonefruits with oak. Opulent mouthfill, moving quickly from stone fruits like melon into to toasty oak vanilla. Structure is based with mineral notes, heavy wood tannins for a white and soft acidity. Very long finish. This is pretty good stuff, but I think I probably shouldnt have drank this so early.
