|
Bronze
|
|
Perceptibly very sweet - perhaps a little too much so. Nice flavours, but lacks to balance hoped for in these wines.
|
|
Slightly dulled nose, some marmalade and citrus notes. Pleasant on the palate but doesn't flow nicely, needs a bit more acid balance. Sweetness isn't in check.
|
|
Deeper colour, sweeter, nice marmalade and botrytis-like dried apricot. Palate not without some deliniation and subtlety but doesn't quite have the nerve - a slight sweetness disjoint at the end.
|
|
med plus intensity, ripe mango, marmalade. very sweet, touch cloying, medium minus length that cuts with pure sugar. lacking fruit intensity and definition
