  Similar to my previous note. Enjoyable, clean, but simple and over-priced. Went well with prawn and ginger stir-fry.

  The petrol whiff referred to by a couple of previous reviewers is about the only thing left in this, my last bottle of the 2012.
  
  I am a massive fan of Bin 51 but this was an underwhelming year. If you have any left then can I suggest they go into the bin marked ‘raffle prizes’ or take them to a party (but don’t let anyone see you leave them on the worktop!).

  Hint of petrol on the nose. Citrus and lime palate, very pleasant but a little simple.

  A whiff of kerosene on the nose. I don't get a lot else. Not the most concentrated. Slightly sweetish finish.
