Nice petrol and citrus on the nose with citrus flavours and fresh acidity on the palate with a nuttiness on the long finish.
I believe we had the 2011. Nice wine, kind of a petrol smell but tasted nice, slightly off-dry. A bit of a German-minerally taste. Good with the turkey dinner at Christmas.
Very good length. Honey, fruit and subdued acidity. A slight touch of petrol. A bit sweeter than expected. Very enjoyable.
