January 27, 2024 - Nice and integrated, not fading.
Tropical fruits, white flowers, minerals, lemon and hints of oak. Drinking well. Enjoyed and recommended. -

August 22, 2023 - I liked that, a bit hold and you can taste it. Not a grand vin, missing some balance and smoothness

March 6, 2023 - Pale gold color. Pronounced, developing aromas of lemon, kumquat, honey, flint, peach. Dry, med body, high acidity, med alcohol, long finish. Very similar to Willamette Chardonnay in style while this is more pricey to be honest. It is very well made, though.
