October 14, 2012 - Straw yellow, expressive nose with peach, tropical fruits, mineral and oak. Nice mid-weight Chardonnay, flavourful palate with peach, tropical fruits and smoky oak. Fresh and balance acidity, less creamy notes shows that it may not gone through or complete the malo-lactic fermentation. Medium+ finish. Overall quite a nice Chardonnay.

April 14, 2012 - Clear lemon color with average nose with a hint of - skunk! Flavor was ample with flavors of grapefruit smoke, grass and herbs. Balance was harmonious with medium acidity and medium body. Finish was average. A bit disappointing and expected more. Tasted as part of wine tasting course.

February 12, 2011 - Dionysia wine fair: (tasted at Dionysia) Strangely perfumed, I was expecting far more in the nose, lean and mineral. Rewarding mouth, much fuller and intense, balanced and medium aftertaste. For food probably rather than on its own
