lime and green apple, sulphur, a little candy floss. Bone dry, green and lime are reserved on the palate, simple, tangy, a little texture, sulphur. Nice

Lime cordial with a little candied lime underpin. Medium plus intensity acidity, lime and lime pith, very slight bitterness, old school Aussie gets a meh from me.

green hued fruit; greengages with a little orchard fruit and candy floss. The palate is a reflection of the nose. Clean. Short. Meh

Gooseberry tends to cats pee, a little unripe passion fruit and a touch of oyster shell in support. Medium plus intensity acidity and a touch of residual sugar puts this in the sweet and sour space. Nah

Low intensity aromas shows a little citrus. Sharp acid and alcohol warmth, bitterness on the palate with a touch of textured on the finish. Nope.

I don't remember this being so briny in the past, a little stone fruit, apple and waxy notes here as well. On the palate there is a little green note which lends freshness, waxy texture coats the mouth, tangy, briny. It's rather nice

Quite struck match on the nose, a little non delineated fruit beneath this. Juicy, tangy, drying textured, muted fruit hides behind that struck match note. Meh.

Peach and white fig over bacon fat, slightly citric underpin. In the mouth it's quite savoury and tight with bacon fat taking precedence at the expense of the fruit. Nope.

struck match, fresh herbs; almost a little thyme, peach and nectarine with slightly seaside notes. Medium plus intensity acidity is integrated, tangy fruit, fleshy, that saline note is here as well. Nice

A rather charming hazelnut note, struck match, sweet spice. Juicy, the struck match note rather dominates the palate, stone fruit and sweet spice beneath this…sigh

Low intensity aromas show tiny cherry notes and little else. Quite bitter on the palate with little else worthy of mention. Nah.

Struck match reductiveness, black hued fruits; berries and brambles. It's a little sour on the palate with plenty of textured grip the fruit is a touch muted. <shrugs>

Slight jammy red and black fruits, a little oaky underpin. Slightly jammy fruit on the palate, drying textured burr is a little silky, it is a bit out of whack for me. Hmm.

Savoury cherry, a little meaty underpin, perhaps a tiny red currant note. Sourly juicy, quite dense on the mid palate with a little coarse flour textured tannins, finishes on the bitter side…perhaps a little too much extraction?

Cherry, blackcurrant, liquorice, sweet spice, cedar, tiny smidge of plain chocolate. Nice nose. Juicy red over black hued fruit, drying slightly woody chalky textured tannic grip, fruit doesn't quite present after the promise of the nose, finishes with some non-intrusive alcohol warmth.

Initially a little struck match reductive under this some fresh black hued fruits In the mouth it's juicy with the fresh black fruits quite quickly overtaken by rather drying though softly textured tannins. Hmm.

Red plums, fruit tea, slightly resinous notes, sweet spice. Medium plus intensity acidity with that red plum note and quite a bitter element here as well. It's not very nice.

Ripe fresh black plums with a little savoury underpin, sweet spice. Juicy tending to medium plus intensity acidity lends a little sourness to the plummy fruit, a sense of diluteness here as well. Slight chalky tannins are drying, the fruit just about persists. Okay.

Ripe, slightly jammy , blackcurrant with pencil shavings and pyrazine notes and a little baking spice. Juicy tending t medium plus intensity acidity, flavour profile as per the nose, slightly grainy tannic underpin. There is a bit of alcohol warmth on the finish that makes things a little smudgy. Hmm.

Herbaceous notes, a little smokiness, blackcurrant. Juicy, savoury, dark hued fruits, a little plain chocolate here as well as drying slightly chalky tannins. Simple but nice.

Muted blackcurrant with a touch of cassis and a smidge of mint & eucalyptus. Juicy with a slightly soft impression, black currant, slight alcohol warmth, tannins are floury textured, persistent. Hmm.

Ripe blackcurrant, a little chocolate, cream, sweet spice, polished oak…Medium plus intensity acidity feels a touch adjusted pushing the frit to a more red spectrum, chalky tannins, finishes slight bitter joined by a touch of alcohol warmth.

Red and black plums, sweet spice, a little coffee note. Juicy medium plus intensity acidity, red over black plums then a fairly hefty chewy lump of tannins dries out the palate. Interesting but probably of more use as a blending component

Meaty, savoury, gamey black fruits, a little Parma violet, plums beneath this. Medium plus intensity acidity, finely textured cats tongue tannins fruit more red hued on the palate, long. Interesting. Nice.

a little toffee apple, fig, dried peaches and apricots on the nose. Lusciously sweet but with a tiny touch of woody bitterness to accompany figs, raisins and a little toast & biscuit. It's surprisingly simple for a minimum 15 year old fortified.

Figs, dried figs and walnuts with caramel tending to toffee, muscovado sugar. Medium plus intensity acidity and alcohol help with the impression of juiciness but this is lusciously sweet, a little coffee joins the figs and dried figs, walnuts and baked sugar notes.

Green apple, lemon lozenges, tiny smidge of almost grapefruit. Crisp mousse, leesy textured bur, a little biscuit and a touch of hoppy bitterness on the finish. Hmm.
