Monthly Tasting Group EEE #011; Australia (@ JD): Yellow. Fairly expressive bouquet with yellow fruits and some oak. In the mouth almost aromatic with a lot of yellow fruits, white fruits, peach, honey and creamy butter candy as well as some melon. Not extremely complex, but recognizable as a Rhone white and very tasty. This can last for several years.

Leafy, creamy light red berries on the nose with a smooth creamy palate of creamy grapefruit and lemon. Nice but quite a short finish. @ d'Arenberg tasting with Claire Scott. West London Wine School.

Citrus & something like tropical melon maybe... very fruity. Some subtle notes of honey tea come through as the wine opens up. Drinks a bit like an overdone Chardonnay or Viognier. Nothing spectactular, better on the nose, nice texture. First 100% Roussanne tasted.

This seemed pretty fruity to me, for a Roussanne. My first taste of an Aussie Roussanne. A certain sweetness, which to me seemed unusual for a white Rhone varietal. Good though (84.5).

Nez assez intense de fruits tropicaux et de notes boisées. Vineux et gras en bouche, tellement qu'il fait penser à certains bons chardonnay américains. Du beau travail dans son style et pourrait probablement bien accompagner la dinde de Noël.

In your face, some complexity... maybe a little too honeyed?

Mineral, savoury stone fruits. Real interest. Good ripeness; Hint of sweetness, tinned mandarin and orange peel. Good complexity, good length.

Citrus and pear. One-dimensional.
