The colour was medium straw gold, and it had medium legs. The bouquet showed quite sweet peach fruity. There was medium peach and apricot fruit, and light acid balance in the taste. This was a medium body fruity simple style.

Note 1 I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these wines as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
