The colour was light greenish lemon, clear. The bouquet showed crisp acidity, and capsicum grassy lemon. There was tropical and stone fruit, capsicum fruit, long dry mineral acid finish. This wine had quite complex fruit and dry acid 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, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

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