Marco Giovanetti rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Tropical fruit aromas. Mango in particular comes to mind. In the mouth, quite creamy with retronasal flavors of almond cream but with a saline taste that brings everything into perspective. Medium finale.

Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Brilliant pale gold colour. Simple, heady aromas of ripe pear, lemon curd and melted butter feature on the nose. The palate is lush and rounded, with subtle creaminess and intense pineapple and banana aromas. The oak is well dosed, just subtly seasoning the finish.

Sure to please lovers of big, bold, fruity Chardonnays from California or Australia. A shade pricey at 20$...
