Simon J Woolf & Friends on Wild and Wonderful Wines
Attractive floral and aromatic nose, slight nuttiness. Good weight, medium bodied with a nice creamy and very delicately honeyed texture. A good expression of the grape variety, with plenty of character. Green melon, unripe plum, slight hint of wax.
