Previous Years Tastings

Unusual, I think it may be drinkable. Initially a riesling taste. The taste cahnges with each drinkdramatically it improves, lightly green. Remarkable. A bit weird - riesling? Not for me could be better when warmer. Can't make up my mind. More fruit than Con has got. Nothing long in the finnish - it's over quicker that the Indy 300. Very fruit, peaches and lime. Would be fab with a slight coriander based dish. Citrus fruit, a bit acidic ... More>>

"Wow.", "No pink", "Dry", "Sour, heaps of bubles", "Pet Nat-ish. Less rose than expected. Unusual different noice."

from Hungary More>>

This is why. I like a bit of balls and this has it - deep berries of the bush are prevalent in the thorns of tastability. A lovely red, deep, slight chalk and great after taste. More>>

Bubbly but lightish. Good nose - better as she warms up. A little bit acidic for me. Light, green not bad. Grassy fruity number that'd do nicely in the Gay Games.

Golden and wonderous. Apricots and stone friut with a very solid and smooth finish. Smelly socks rinsed in fruit. One of those wines Junior Waugh could drink to bid adieu. One of fruit, smooth not too bad. Near to riesling...could be Lorraine. Not my thing. Interesting. Hints of riesling. Yes, interesting. Beautiful darling! ... More>>

Beautiful colour and an explosive aroma. Honey, toasty and strong. More>>

Perhaps something was lost in the translation and they actually said 'Wirrawirra', which means the same thing" "Alittle too sweet for me, but ont too bad" "I got a job today so everything today will taste perrffectt !!!!" ...

gorgeous, mongrel of a wine More>>

A taste of bulk with a sharp edge. Good, another fab red gutsy and tough this could beat anything. This red slips into the black hole of rarified air. A lovely wine, starts at a lower level and keeps to the occasion. Berri berri. Wild berry flavour enhanced. Smooth metho nose - some chalkiness. More complex than an IQ test. ... More>>
