  April 7, 2014 - Light golden hue. Delicate nose of apricot. Grassy, tight, tart, acidic on the palate, medium bodied, awfully like an off balance sauvignon blanc

  Tasted non blind with dinner. Opened and served immediately. Followed over maybe 30 minutes.
  
  Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of sea spray, lime, lemon and waxy pears. Flavors of lemons, limes and minerals. Medium acidity, light to medium body. Drink over the next few years.

  November 30, 2013 - Enjoyed over 2 days - nice oily, petrol & citrusy nose & palate profile. Viscous on the palate with high acids & long finish. I really enjoyed this and its very good with Turkey - nose is similar to a nice German Riesling. 90+. Flavor profile is unique and if expecting the flavor profile of a nice Chardonnay you will be dissapointed. Will buy more. 90+

  October 24, 2013 - Wonderful with octopus risotto, this paired beautifully with the dish, but was still delightful on its own. Bright aromas and flavors of citrus, great acidity and excellent balance. Don't expect a Napa Chardonnay here, its a great white from Spain!!!
