 Tasted by Schönibert on 2/5/2016 & rated 90 points: Sehr verführerisch, konzentriert. (3191 views)
 Tasted by Schönibert on 12/29/2015 & rated 91 points: Einer meiner interessantesten Weißweine dieses Jahres, etwa so ein Brett wie der reife Planeta Chardonay neulich aber komplexer. Hier fette kandierte Früchte, Birne, Quitte, Orange, reif, salzige eingekochte Butter, das ist eine Beerenauslese trocken. (3208 views)
 Tasted by Schönibert on 12/11/2015 & rated 90 points: Real beauty! Herrlich reifes Holzfass, Weißwein mit Dichte, Komplex (mit etwas Luft) und guter Länge. (3242 views)
 Tasted by cweiss on 12/3/2014: Dmitri night at Vecchia Roma. This was one of the most enjoyable dry whites I've had in a long time. Nose of "tropical" peaches/apricots and also something sweetly spicy, dry but still the same sensory notes on the palate and a mouth-coating feel.Every sip a little different. Good on its own and with rich Italian first courses. (4104 views)
 Tasted by DerVerbrecher on 11/15/2014: Waldhotel Sonnora *** (Waldhotel Sonnora, Dreis, Germany): 5th course: Atlantik-Steinbutt mit Kaisergranat im knusprigen Pastilla gebacken auf Estragonsauce. (2168 views)
 Tasted by Jweiss2 on 6/18/2014: Straw colored. 13% etoh. Medium to sweet. Nice peach elements. Pairs well with acid or spice. (3209 views)
 Tasted by Conde on 8/2/2013 & rated 88 points: Straw coloured.
Nose: Some pear, some exotic fruit and a touch of white peppar.
Palate: Quite round and full, but very dry. There are some hints of pear, some apple (or cider as someone wrote) and a little bitterness. Good length. A good wine with some personality. Good with food. I had it with Spaghetti limone, and it worked out fine. (3133 views)

Fascinating intriguing wine. Cross between riesling/pinot blanc..... (3742 views)
 Tasted by bboy on 11/24/2012 & rated 84 points: We tried three odd grapes from Italy.
This was the winner.
Closely related to a chablis though not as great as they could be. (3989 views)
 Tasted by french16 on 11/10/2012: Some pear on the nose with acidic apple and borderline exotic fruit. There's also an almost cidery touch. Full body, smoky, even though it says 13% it feels more. More exotic fruit on the palate with spices and apricot. Overall thought it was somehow heavy and boring. (3347 views)
 Tasted by shleepy on 8/4/2012 & rated 87 points: Fairly tasty, with nice green apple notes, but not complex or interesting enough. (3868 views)
 Tasted by arose13 on 7/4/2012 & rated 91 points: c- gold, somewhat cloudy. a- earth- mineral, florality, rubber. f- floral like aut riesling but less so. white flowers, peach, lemon. acid but fuller body. a little funky but interesting and good. (2858 views)
 Tasted by PDX-S on 7/1/2012: An interesting and tasty wine. This pale gold wine had a surprising amount of body for the alcohol content, almost a dry sherry like mouth feel, while retaining some crisp fruit and acid on the palate. A true pleasure for those looking for a white wine off the beaten path. As mentioned in an earlier note, the wine has seen no oak, instead being aged in acacia wood. (2405 views)
 Tasted by weiny on 4/11/2012 & rated 90 points: Sehr voll in der Nase, Pfirsich .Knackig säurig, früh öffnenTolle Länge. Zum Panzanella mit Schweineschnitzel (2744 views)
 Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 3/25/2012 & rated 86 points: Vinoblesse Wine Tasting (Baarn, Netherlands): Light, smooth, pleasant. (2977 views)
 Tasted by cryptochrome on 2/12/2012 & rated 93 points: What a great, great wine this is. It tasted like no other white wine I ever had. This is probably due to the fact that this wine did not see any oak, but instead was fermented in arcacia wood barrels. This gives the wine a very distinctive taste. (3342 views)
