Description When I do my tasting notes, I write them on small scraps of paper that I have lying about, then, a day later, I review my notes and write the review. There are times when I smile fondly over the notes, remembering the wine, and other times where I can literally still taste and smell the wine as I read over my scribblings. This is one of those wines … it might seem simple on the page, but it was far from that. Immediately the smell was of peach and melon, with hints of Bartlett pear thrown into the mix for good measure. The taste was white peach and honeydew with some really good minerality and an apple finish, which kinda pops up right at the end as you’re savouring the medium long finish. There’s just a touch of sweetness making this an absolutely delicious sipper. Buy a bunch, some to drink now and some to lie down for later – I can’t wait to see how this one ages, it’ll gain more appley and petrol notes, that’s my prediction anyway – it’ll be fun to find out if I’m right, stay tuned.
