Yellow gold in colour - certainly lighter than I was expecting.

The palate shows lemon/lime tart or brulee. There's a bit of ginger and orange peel as well. Most of the interest is in the palate - there's great mouthfeel, sweetness countered by acidity, and the lemon lime has concentrated considerably. Very more-ish without leaving an impression of sweetness.

There's development, but I wasn't expecting the level of freshness that balances this out. Great drinking now.

Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.

Always been a good wine, this, although I only seem to have experience with 07/08 vintages. Value was decent as well as I recall.
