With honey and kiwi and tropical fruits on the nose, at first very tart in the mouth and lacking any sense of structure, after an hour, showing banana butterscotch and caramel with classic notes and flavors of bit-o-honey. Needs time to open up.

It may be the age showing, but hard to say. There is WAY too much oak on this wine for my taste. All the nuance of Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc are lost. Covered up by caramel toffee and vanilla toast. No bueno. It's out of balance.

Big and rich, with barrel time standing out almost too much, this is a buttery, creamy bunch of tropical fruit that is overpowering, there was just enough acidity to keep it in the ballpark of interesting for me.

Unusual, but highly enjoyable. Big wine, may not be all that age worthy. Great bottle/label/marketing....good QPR

Big clunky wine with good nose but seems disjointed.
