I tasted the 2003 vintage of this wine on 08 Mar 2005 when it was 2 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was medium clear slightly greenish straw. The bouquet showed strong citrus, melon fruit and light honey. This wine had a medium dry start, with melon and apricot fruit, and a crisp steely clean finish. This wine was quite intense, a well balanced style.

The colour was a pale-medium bright gold. The bouquet was crisp with medium citrus lime. the taste showed medium-dry orange and citrus fruit, with crisp acid balance. This wine had a nice acid and fruit balance
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.
