I tasted the 2015 vintage of this wine on 02 Jun 2018 when it was 3 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was light-medium straw yellow. The bouquet had sweet grape and tropical fruit, and citrus lemon. There was quite sweet honey and lime fruit, and a medium citrus acid finish. This wine was a sweet fruity style, with some crisp 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.
