Punch, perfume and varietal characters are good but a bit tropical. Great flavour on the palate but the sweetness is getting up and slt out of balance. |
Lifted tangerine/red apple fruit. Weighty and waxy palate, more muscular style with some extract to balance M+ alc. Acid a touch tangy. |
Clipped aromatics Pleasant mouthfeel. Clean and true. |
deep straw, bright aromatic notes, tropical fruits, ripe palate. lycee/passionfruit flavours, good phenolics but finishes with hard acidity |
