  Fragrant, clean, fresh & bright. Sweet orchard fruit notes on a firm structure of acidity. This bottle shone brightly.

  Fresh with nice fragrance; mature acidity. Good now.

  Highly fragrant wine with fine acidity and length. Full-tilt fruit in a precise package. Flexible food wine, but not shy.

  Wow, this was absolutely lovely. Deep yellow/ light golden. We clearly get what WGMcCallum describes -- acacia, lime, and especially cumquat. A touch of savory honey as well. And stone fruit pit. Deep. Although we were thrilled by this wine, we found it most enjoyable on its own, and that it fought with some assertively spicy pairings. But it was just fantastic spread over four days, with perhaps some development and at least no loss during that time. We would love to have more of this, but alas, don't.

  Very fragrant with bright, intense orchard fruit. A hint of petrol and richness. Definitely on the young side, could use at least a year or two to round out. Acidity mollifies the light sweetness and makes this a flexible wine for aperitif or entry courses.
