Deep, clear yellow-gold colour. Medium-bodied, with delicate flavours of honey, lemon, rockmelon and paw-paw. High acid contributes a sour, under-ripe character, like green mango.

NobleRottersSydney - Tahbilk Shiraz vertical (Lucio's, Paddington): The 1988, by contrast, was deep yellow with an orange tint. The nose presents honey and rich marzipan aromas, with more than a hint of nutty oxidation. The palate is very broad and developed – the fruit has definitely lapsed here. The flavours are somewhat more caramelized than the nose would suggest, and the acid has softened out as well, leaving the wine somewhat flabby, although still enjoyable enough. Definitely ion the downward slope, however. Drink up.
