I picked this up cheap in a clearance. It is extremely pleasant, particularly the nose. The citrus aspect is not as obvious to me as I have since read on reviews, but the green and stone fruit, together with the grassy, herbaceous flavour is a real winner. A really ace wine. The first glass disappeared in about twenty seconds!
