The colour was medium-strong golden yellow, and it showed medium oiliness. There was grape citrus melon fruit, and medium oaky bouquet. The taste showed citrus capsicum melon fruit, crisp acid, and light oak. This was a medium-dry style, with a light buttery feel, and was quite fruity.

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.
