  Nice, honey and flowers on the palate. I was spoiled in that I had a glass of Chateau d'Yquem at a restaurant just prior to this, the comparison is a little hard (100 point d'Yquem). Still, this was nice, and would buy it again to have around the house for the right occasion.

  Nice subtle nose. Has a bit of an apple component. Nose is enjoyable, palate is balanced, smooth, but simple. Decent if found at a good price.

  nice bang for your buck. Nose is more complex than the taste with some herbal, even mint, notes that get lost in the syrupy orange rind&apricot preserve loveliness that is the soul of this wine.
  
  Makes me want to try their Barzac, which seems to be the more popular wine, looking at the reviews from other CT trackers.
