Colour was pale bright golden yellow, with a slightly oily appearance, and moderate legs. The bouquet had light citrus melon fruit, and light smoky wood. The taste was crisp, with citric and melon fruit, and light woody oak. this wine had a moderate buttery feel and medium body, it had full fruit with dry woody 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.
