Developed, brassy colour. Toast and slight kero-turpene, lemon citrus with some florals. Sweet, lacks bal, cloying RS, moreish. Food : makes not a lot of difference ? possibly more sweet

A dark wine that seems quit developed and mature already with plenty of aromas of honey, dates and nut and the match makes it a little fresher.

Deep, bright gold-orange. Brandied cumquat/orange peel aromas, hints of rose petal and kero. Very sweet, though lively acid; mid-weight palate. Decent length, slightly firm savoury finish. With food: fruit flavours and texture both work well.

Golden in colour. Richness on the nose following through to the palate. Full rounded fruit with great texture. Finishes with a slightly marmalade oiliness which lingers on the palate beautifully. The wine is better with the mango dessert as becomes better balanced. Acid finishes comes through.

Medium deep gold. Marmalade and toast wth a light bitter nutty edge to the nose. Med-bodied, sweet slightly oily, dried floral, orange peel, toasty hint, balanced. Long lemony and toast finish.

A light golden amber colour. The nose shows intense citrus and orange curd aromas. The palate is rich and mouth filling with a lovely textural quality.. There is a slight savoury edge to the wine which proves an excellent accompaniment with food.
