The colour was clear bright watery green gold. The bouquet was very intense, with dry steely floral and tropical gooseberry fruit. The taste was very dry, with intense fruit, and was clean and crisp. This wine had a great bouquet, was very intense, but probably needs some ageing - but not too much. This is a real New Zealand classic.

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.
