Bright mid gold. Nose has some passionfruit and other tropical notes with some herbaceousness. A little bit of sauvignon pong but not off-putting or surprising given the age. Nice weight. No sense of drying out or oxidation. Really delicious if you like aged Loire sauvignon.

Colour still bright and deep. What leaps out of the glass are the lactones of a heavy oak toast. The fruit is fine and pretty, but unfortunately submerged. Medium bodied. Finishes dry and cleanly. Would be quite lovely were it not for the overdone oak.

Browning. Fully developed nose. Cedar and blackcurrant, but dialed back. Little else. Quite long but a little lean. Drink up.

The main one is the Whitewater Valley Wine Society, www.whitewaterwine.org.uk and we welcome new members. You can see our planned events on the website. You'd be very welcome to come along. The other club is Three Borders Wine Club, this is a small group of local friends and is not open to others at the moment.
