Community Tasting Notes 7

  March 26, 2012 - Pale straw coloured with a lime filled, tropical fruit nose. Fully flavoured, creamy and well rounded, the palate is generous and packed with ripe mango and melon fruit and a nice floral honey finish. Not masses of complexity but good depth of flavour and great value at £6.

  October 31, 2011 - Wine Education Service - Portugal (LSE): Pale green silver.
  A sauvignon blanc nose, nettles and grass, slight minerality, oily.
  Very refreshing, quite bitter, medium length.

  May 13, 2011 - Pretty nose with some floral, crushed seashells, and lemon. Mid weight, creamier texture than the nose lead me to expect. There's some lemon oil, cold cream. Inconsistent on mid-palate and finish, but overall quite tasty.

  May 5, 2011 - I think we have something here. I have no idea what this costs. One of those blends with grapes we can't pronounce, or spell. But who cares it tastes great. My first impression, was Chardonnay like, at least in the viscosity. As I tasted down the glass, I got more of a honeysuckle with light lemon taste. Fresh floral nose. This is more than medium bodied. The color is almost clear. I would call it slightly rustic. I'm sure it has seen some malolactic fermentation. Doubt if there is any oak, although there are some tannins on the roof of the mouth. As it warms up I am getting more of that Granny Smith apple acidity. Incredible balance, the finish is almost sweet with honey, and more honey. Delicious.
