Gorgeously layered and flavoured yet absolutely refreshing! A petrol nose (a good thing) gives way to a profusion of white flowers, lime blossom and zesty energetic spring fruit. Mouth-watering and tasty. Superb!

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Amrita Roy reviewed this wine as follows:

Much drier than Loosen - more savoury notes than fruit. Refreshing acidity, made my mouth water. I liked this but would prefer more fruit flavours, but with this refined flavour
Lime blossom aromas lead into a very lively palate with great energy and precise thrust, the zesty, minerally finish and aftertaste lengthening and refreshing. A modern evocation of the variety. Drink [until] 2017. Score: 94 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
