The colour was medium clear straw gold, with fairly heavy legs. The bouquet showed strong citrus tropical fruit, lemon and grape. The taste had tropical fruit, with high alcohol, and a sharp acid finish. This wine had strong flavours and good balance.

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 of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully 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 and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
