Tasting notes
Luxurious and spiced with a dry, saline, apple flavour on the finish. Savoury, dry and classic. Salty to finsh. A little simple for the price. (RH)

Bright, pale yellow. Cool aromas of lemon, mint and caraway seed. Lemony and lean, showing modest depth to its citrus, herb and pepper flavors. Seems only marginally ripe.
A tangy and layered red with dark berry, citrus skin and depth of fruit. Long and stylish for the vintage. Drink or hold.
Mid crimson. Light red-fruit nose. Delicate structure to match the lightweight fruit but there's harmony overall. Just a bit dry on the very end. (JH)
