Nose: rubber and paint Palate: off dry with orange, lemon and apple. Some rubber. Tasted with: 5 year Gouda and mushroom risotto. Overall: Good balance between acidity and mild sweetness. An enjoyable wine and minimal caramel notes to suggest oxidation with age. Overall at my house: 89 points

Pale straw. Lemons, subtle hay and honeysuckle on the nose. Rounded mouthfeel with some tartness on the sides of the tongue. Notes of Meyer lemon, green apple, melon and pear. Moderate finish. Still drinking well.

This was #44 on WS top 100. It has developed a rounder mouthfeel and maybe even a little petrol. Still acidic and with nice fruit. Overall I like it better than the other two bottles drunk 6 years ago. It's unliley to improve, though. A very good bottle and a great deal.

Blind at Paul's: brilliant yellow-green; visible CO2 clinging to inside of glass; match stick, touch petrol with tropical, apple, med.+ acid (not High), jsut off-dry, but pretty much dry.

This was lovely; slightly dry with some sweetness too. There's a malty chalkiness which adds complexity.
