Pretty good, sturdy and clean. The nose shows good white fruits and minerally notes, with a bit of toast. In the mouth, it’s healthy and sweet, with tropical flavors of melon and papaya along with creamy pear. Finishes sweet, with some vanilla.——M.S.(6/1/2011)—— 86

Banana, lemon-lime and even some lychee give this a fruity, slightly sweet bouquet. The mouth is solid, while flavors of lemon, melon and lychee are driving but candied. Not too oaky, but plenty honeyed and melony. Good if you’re not seeking a serious, Burgundy-styled wine.——M.S.(12/31/2008)—— 86
