Nice balance, crisp, with lime and other fruit, very flowery bouquet but not unpleasantly so, and surprisingly nicely dry but with a touch of sweetness. At $12 it represented a good value. We drank it as an apertif and with pasta and it matched well both ways. I will buy this again.

This seems to have improved with a little more aging (the last bottle one year ago wasn't very good). Medium body, decent fruit on the palate, a little smoky, but short finish.

for $10 this is a great deal. It was a bit on the sweet side but overall had a nice blend of fruit and a little depth, without too much alcohol taste.
