 Tasted by bkh on 11/10/2019 & rated 88 points: Light and refreshing. Honey aroma with apricot and pear flavors. Great alone but would pair well with spicy food. (714 views)
 Tasted by im_is_ninja on 5/5/2018 & rated 83 points: Hints of banana and stone fruit on the nose. Very little acid and slightly sweet with taste of peaches. Definitely should enjoy with food. I recommend cold seafood. (1138 views)
 Tasted by lvjohn on 9/14/2017 & rated 85 points: Pleasant enough to make me pleased with this late summer luncheon wine. It's somewhat sweet and lacking in acid so it seems a bit flaccid. Citrus notes on the palate with an odd and unpleasant nose. (1428 views)
 Tasted by Chemming on 7/24/2017 & rated 82 points: Just sweet beyond my liking and made it difficult to appreciate any other nuance, if it existed. That said, not undrinkable. (1520 views)
 Tasted by brujazz on 5/24/2017 & rated 88 points: Looks as if I like this wine a whole lot better than anyone else who reviewed it. It was the perfect accompaniment to shrimp and pasta in pesto, enhanced with red pepper flakes. Nice acid created a crispness to go along with the very slight hint of sweetness in the wine. Found it to be very well balanced, no, it's not complex, but it's wonderful with food and has a great QPR. (1488 views)
 Tasted by Patriciabert on 3/5/2017 & rated 73 points: Chenin blanc 100%
Luktet svært lite! Tropisk frukt, svale blomster
Smak: mye!! Rosin, banan, søte krydder, pepper, gress.
God til seigmenn, men ikke noe annet. Hvit castello går greit men ikke mer.
Ganske søt, smaker av søtvin selv om den ikke er søt. (Denne druen brukes jo gjerne til søte og botrytiserte viner)
Spennende og litt annerledes vin. Den svake lukten lurer deg. Drikkes best alene uten mat. (1159 views)
 Tasted by wineloversunite on 11/20/2016 & rated 78 points: A bit too sweet. Better with food (970 views)
 Tasted by grafstrb on 10/30/2016: -- cracked and poured --
-- tasted a couple pours non-blind over approx. 45 minutes --

Definitely some r.s. here; banana Runts flavor; hay; low acidity; it's well-made, but I'd prefer a much drier wine. Gut impression score: low to mid 80's. (881 views)
 Tasted by Joe Malden on 9/20/2016 & rated 79 points: Crisp and very fruity (713 views)
