I tasted the 2020 vintage of this wine on 16 Jul 2024 when it was 4 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was quite strong yellow gold. The bouquet had quite strong lime citrus, and sweet fruit. There was full grape fruit and honey, a medium dry citric lime finish, and light sediment. This wine was quite sweet and fruity with medium acidity.

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.
