In terms of value, this is superb. Stylish, graceful biscuit and citrus aromas lead the way, backed by willowy, blossom, herb and rhubarb notes. The direct palate is equally precise and pure, laden with zesty, mineral citrus. Impeccable structure and a long, lingering finish. £8.99

Captivating, with zesty lemon and wet stones on the nose, followed by a complex medley of citrus, passionfruit and carnations on the palate. The wine finishes well, with punchy notes of lime marmalade and dry chalk. Try with smoked trout. Drink now for its vibrant fruit or lay down for a few years for more honeyed depth.——W.E.(12/31/2009)—— 90
