Heavy and yellow, with oxidized aromas of papaya and melon. The wine has acidity but it isn’t creating any vibrancy; instead, the wine is chunky, clumsy and tastes of banana and lemon. Acceptable but not really cutting it.——M.S.(12/31/2009)—— 82

Waxy and honeyed in the nose, with an aftershock of butterscotch. Pear, apple and coconut dominate the sweet, simple palate. Finishes heavy and round, as do so many Chilean Chardonnays.——M.S.(8/1/2004)—— 85
