Baggy sulphides, toast and VA spike. Similar to nose, marzipan, hot & phenolic, cloying. Food : makes the wine appear less cloying and possibly more simpler.

A lovely wine with a rich waxy palate and aromas of honey and lemon and miraculously the match seems to make it richer and fresher.

Bright yellow-gold. Complex dried apple and dried-linen aromas. Sweet, slightly oily palate. Firm tannins mid- to back-palate. Low acidity. With food: no real improvement.

Lovely balanced mandarin characters on the nose and palate. Hints of apricot with great acid balance, texture and follow through. A lovely acid zing on the finish. A great match as the mango tartness gives the wine great structure and balance. Both works well in harmony.

Light gold. Lightly smoky, honeyed, toasty, peach and orange peel nose. Full, soft, sweet straightforward, honeyed, biscuit. Sweet slightly short finish.

A bright straw gold colour. The nose shows attractive citrus and spice characters. The palate is expressive with primary friuit notes complexing with some attractive development. A beautifully balanced wine which pairs well with food.
