Crisp and very clear
Lemon and Grapefruit, some passionfruit elements. Lovely dry finish, but a bit simple.

Good

2007 De Bortoli Gulf Station Pinot Noir
Satisfying cherry, strawberry, earthy and stemmy aromas
Silky smooth mouth feel. Luscious cherry, baked strawberry, cranberry and raspberry conserve, earth, mulch, stems, soda and strawberry topping, watermelon, macerated wild raspberries, sappy and a slightly prolonged sour cherry finish. Bright acid.

'03 McLeans Farm Trinity Corner Shiraz
A bright plum color with a clean plum aroma. Rich full taste and has a good structure for an under $20 wine. It could still do with a little time to develop.
Very nice
