  Pale lemon colour, still very young and fresh. The nose was quite closed but the palate had more to offer. Some white nectarine along with tart lemon and a little grapefruit. A little ginger zing and some warm sandalwood.
  Pretty good now but I think this is still growing into itself and is years away from its best.

  Drank this wine at Manhill Restaurant over dinner with my wine mates. Theme of the evening: Syrah (or Shiraz) or Syrah dominant wines.
  
  Greenish yellow in colour.

  Giant Steps 2019 Zoom Tasting w/ Steve Flamsteed. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of citrus lemon oil, floral topnotes, and then a touch of honey almond nut. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, rounded high acidity, medium alcohol, medium body. Medium+ intensity, with flavours of citrus lemon oil, white peaches, sweet honeyed almond nut, rumbly mealy stony mineral background. A bit of toast oak and spice. Long spiced finish.
  Very good quality. Good material. Needs maybe just another 2+ years more to integrate and develop and should go on to express itself nicely.
