The colour was light straw gold, with quite heavy legs. The bouquet showed strong crisp wood and tropical fruit. The taste had tropical peach fruit and strong acid balance, oaky tannins, and a creamy mouth feel. This was a fairly intense style, with strong fruit, acid and wood 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 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.
