I tasted the 2006 vintage of this wine on 16 May 2007 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was pale bright greenish straw gold. The bouquet showed crisp acidic lime, pears and tropical fruit. The flavour had tropical, peach and citrus fruit, and a strong crisp acid finish. This was a clean crisp style with nice balance.

Average (3.5):

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.
