Curiously different to earlier bottles. Shiny, silvery gold. Nose of sweet floral - especially elderflower; nice but not a lot else - less complex than previous bottles from the same vintage. Taste is a little more complex - drier and with a mineral edge, but still with elderflower coming through very strongly. Some sourness to balance the sweetness and in fact the finish ends up pretty sour.

I really like this wine, and find it outstanding value. Very light silver, shiny. Mineral and sauvignon-like nose, with some lime and gooseberry but also a curious savoury note; a sophisticated aroma. Bracingly dry taste, with minerals, lime, a little grapefruit and a touch of green apple. Sancerre with a more burgundy-like body, perhaps? Very good

Very light, extremely shiny silver; almost clear. Delightful zingy nose. Sauvignon-like gooseberry and cut grass on the nose, with some flint - like a cross between Loire and Kiwi; maybe some floral notes too. Taste just like the nose. Fresh and zesty. Green apple, gooseberries, grapefruit and a hint of lime. A little rose and apricot just before the finish. Great balance and finesse. Like a cross between Sancerre and a powerful NZ sauvignon.

Malvasia, Muscatel Gallego, Rabigato. Very zesty aromas. Flowery to the palate. Has some weight, but still nice acidity.
