 Tasted by dbay on 8/1/2020 & rated 85 points: pale gold. Medium minus aromas on the nose- lemon, brioche. On the palate the wine is dry with high acidity, light body, med alcohol, short finish and flavors of green apple, lemon, apple turnovers, toasted almonds of medium intensity. The wine is good, easy, light. Paired well with an noodle/dashi soup. (680 views)
 Tasted by Fafatony on 12/31/2011 & rated 81 points: Nothing special but really good for the price. (2703 views)
 Tasted by ecola on 12/24/2011 & rated 86 points: Quiet on aromas and flavor. May open up more as this warms. There is a little white fruit here and I like the dryness. Not too bad for the price. (2489 views)
