 Tasted by Takao on 1/22/2024 & rated 83 points: Medium lemon. Med(+) aromas of lemon, grape, white peach, orange zest, grape, pineapple, almond, green apple, melon. Sweet, full body, med acid, high alcohol, med(+) finish. Feels a bit reductive. Aromatic and ripe. Some viscous texture. Tasty and well made, though bitterness from alcohol might stick out a bit. Drink now. (182 views)
 Tasted by platpeeps on 8/27/2022 & rated 82 points: Undistinguished. Medium off-dry style with notes of white flowers and almonds with a warm spicy finish. Perhaps it should have been chilled more and certainly improved when significantly diluted with sparkling water. I won’t be trying this again in a hurry. CHP 82 pts (597 views)

Tropical and light citrus on the palate. Medium-long finish with some slight spirit on the finish. This was a little sweeter in character that I was expecting, but a solid white. (1391 views)
 Tasted by mdefreitas on 10/3/2015 & rated 88 points: Iberian Wine Dinner (Milford, CT): Used for a white port tonic, but still quite nice by itself. A bit on the drier style, with lovely yellow fruits and citrus zest. Correct acidity. (2485 views)
