Early maturity...light acid. a little high RS...really easy to drink over a couple of days. Smooth...no bitters. Fine sediment...should be good for years.

WOW. once the hint of petrol blows off - this wines is grabs you, ripe, candied lemon, ginger, smoke, and loads of autumnal fruit. While clearly bigger, it has much to give in terms of structure and minerality - a great showing for a still young wine. I really enjoy tasting these back vintages together with the new wines - as a reminder of how much patience is rewarded.

The nose just jumps out of the glass, petrol, lemon, lime candy, mineral and white flowers. Delicious rich flavors and a balanced finish. It lingers but there is great acidity as well.

Tropical fruit all day long, mixed with a big dose of minerality... like crushed stones on the palate.. glides on the tongue.. delicious with some chicken curry. I would have wanted a touch more acidity to balance, it's at this point a bit lacking structure, but not to the point of overly sweet or anything. Delicious, and hoping it improves with a bit of time.

Tasted chilled at Arroyo Vino. Off-dry, nice hint of petrol, with good balance of sweetness and acid. Crisp apple with some underlying minerality. Would pair well with Thai/Asian cuisine.

Yellow with a greenish hue in the glass. Beautiful nose of green apples, white fruit, flowers and orange peel. These aromas move into the palate, which is uniform from entry through finish. Very concentrated, with good balance between the high acid and sugars. Finishes medium length. Very Good

The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium intensity aromas of green apple, lemon peel, lime, kerosene and hints of neutral white flowers. The wine is medium-sweet in the mouth with a high well-integrated acidity. It has a low alcohol, medium+ body and pronounced intensity flavours of lemon, lime, neutral white flowers and hints of petrol. The finish is long.
It is a very good quality wine that shows a lot of typicity. It has a great flavour intenstiy well-balanced by its fresh acidity and a lingering finish. However it could be more complex. Can drink now, but it has enough acidity and fruit concentration to develop much more complexity and tertiary aromas in the next 10+ years.

Petrol on the nose. Lime, honey with good concentration and mouth feel. Enough acidity to balance the sweetness. Excellent overall.

Focused and crisp acidity despite a bit above average RS. Full bodied with long length and pleasant finish.
