Good material here. Still young and undeveloped. Muted aromas of peach, pineapple and honey. Full on the palate with moderate acid, a fresh minerality and clean, slightly viscous finish. Sweeter than expected but I think it will come into balance with the acid in time, 5 years? I admit it was hard for me to get excited about this wine given Baumard's recent actions in the appellation. A touch too sweet to pair with chicken karaage.

My wine preferences lean to old world reds and this was my first buy from this producer. A solid experience with a nice viscous texture, plenty of lemon flavors though the lemon is not overpowering. Lighter notes of pineapple, melons, pear, and key limes. A nice length on the finish. Sweet but not cloying. A great pairing with lime marinated grilled Mahi.

Excellent fruity nose and palate with tropical fruit foremost. Slightly simple right now but could gain complexity and depth with several more years of aging.

Aroma of mango. Tastes like a diverse basket of tropical fruits. Sweet, like ripe fruits. Balanced with good acidity. What's missing, at least now, is any non-fruit complexity. Who am I to say how it will age? But I wonder.

Fresh, lithe and sweet. Citrus and honey on the nose. Sweet melons on the palate. Sugar is balanced with nice acidity. Just delicious.
