A light to mid lemon colour with hints of greengage, white plum, honey but also a touch of oxidation. The palate is richly textured with pear and greengage but lacks freshness and exhibits a sweet finish.
It is medium yellow with notes of cardboard and wet wool before showing some honey, guava, and a characteristic body odour. A rich and ripe style with lively acidity that reflects the wet dog, creamed honey, and guava pulp.
It is medium lemon in colour, with pronounced green qualities reminiscent of nettle, cut grass, and green bell peppers. The lively acidity is softer than expected on the mid-palate, and the finish is boldly sweet.
A medium ruby colour with bright, intense fruit flavours of spice, raspberry, and boysenberry. It has a creamy texture and is rich with cloves, new oak, and clay-like tannins.

It is medium to purple-red, with soft black fruit, spices, blueberries, and blackberries, and a dusting of cocoa powder—thick texture, ripe tannins, straightforward but enjoyable.

Medium to deep ruby in colour, the aromas are ripe red fruits with spicy wood - all fairly intense. In fact, the palate has lots more spicy wood and a creamy mid-palate, yet it feels somewhat one-dimensional.
