First Tasted, June 2006: This wine is already showing some signs of early development. Bright pale straw colour with green film and water like hue. Light honey toast top notes followed by a hint of lime and tropical fruit. The palate is showing signs of complexity, with confectionary flavours emerging over a layer of pineapple, mandrin and honey, with toast and citrus in the background. Clean acid finish. Aftertaste of honey, lime, citrus and mandarin.
