A moderate yellow in colour. A touch of kero on the nose, along with lemon blossom, tangy lemon, a touch of lime cordial, and a hint of talc. The palate shows more juicy lemon, well supported by refreshing acid, with a clean finish.
The wine is, well, mouth watering. There's no way I would have picked it as a seven year old, and the balance is good - no prominent acid or other edges to shave off. Delicious!
Cheers

An update. Currently working through my last bottle, and the tasting notes are identical, with the exception of the kero (not present at all). If anything, this wine is better than last year. Superb.
