There was a strong bright clear yellow-gold colour. The bouquet had apple and intense spicy fruit. The flavour had full sweet citrus and raisin fruit, with light acid finish. This wine was very sweet with strong fruit flavours.

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.
