I tasted the 2004 vintage of this wine on 30 Oct 2005 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of good-.
This wine had a very pale greenish straw gold colour. The bouquet was crisp and steely, with gooseberry citrus fruit. the flavour was very crisp clean citrus, with capsicum and gooseberry fruit, and a long dry finish. This was a very clean crisp style with strong fruit balance.
I tasted the 2021 vintage of this wine on 25 Nov 2021 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of good-.
The colour was light-medium greenish gold. The bouquet had strong tropical fruit, and citrus acidity. There was full tropical fruit, grassy flavours and capsicum, and a medium citrus acid finish. This wine was quite fruity, with medium acid 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.
