8.5

reflective, evenly concentrated straw with golden hue and a hint of green. Initial aromas are from fermentation, yeast esters, clotted cream, confectionary sugar, and pear with a touch of banana. Primary fruit aromas are neutral but ripe, pineapple, lemon curd, and baked pear. A dry wine with medium, mouthwatering acidity. Full bodied with a smooth viscosity, touch of astringency. 13.8% ABV lends warmth to the lips. Medium complexity, medium plus concentation. Medium finish is balanced and elegant rather than powerful featuring baked apple, baking spices, and light brown sugar — 8 years ago

Very, very pale pink. Large water white rim. Faintly aromatic, brine dominates, subtle watermelon and white flowers. A dry wine with very light body, medium plus acid offering mouthwatering refreshment, medium plus alcohol 13% gives the perception of spice on the medium finish. Very subtle flavors on the palate, fresh red fruit. So subtle that this wine should be enjoyed alone or as an aperitif but delightfully refreshing. — 9 years ago

2014 - Brilliant, reflective, dark straw with a copper hue and a thin water white rim. Intensely aromatic, floral dominant, rose blossom, hibiscus, honeysuckle, subtle stone fruit and citrus, apricot, orange peel, and cantaloupe, a fleeting wisp of cigarette smoke. A dry wine but the mouth-filling perfume leaves a perception of sweetness. Medium plus alcohol lends a lingering warmth and viscosity to the palate. Medium plus acid and a touch of bitterness gives balance to the juicy ripe fruit aromas in the mouth. Fruit and floral aromas confirmed in the mouth with an additional hint of marmalade, and spicy ginger — 8 years ago
