I tasted the 2003 vintage of this wine on 08 Feb 2005 when it was 2 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was pale-medium bright straw yellow. The bouquet had spicy citrus fruit, and light honey sweetness. The taste started with soft citrus floral honey fruit, and had a moderate crisp finish. This is a pleasant fruity, medium-dry style.

Average (3.8):

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
