If I was really lazy I could probably just cut and paste my note for the 2007 and get away with it. Tastes pretty much the same, although I suspect this might be a tiny bit better.
Passiona, assorted citrus and tropical fruits, grass and a little spice. Fresh and juicy with a burst of sweet flavour and dried herbs to balance - touch of sulphide and mineral. The shape and length of it all spot on - aftertaste puts me in mind of a gin and tonic with a squeeze of lime. Tasty.

A complex style, with a mineral element playing support to very pure varietal fruit; ample on the palate, there is terrific depth to the flavour; linear acidity sustains an even, harmonious finish.

This wine has lovely honey and spice on the nose, which seems to be the hallmark of the 2008 whites from Margaret River. The wine is very aromatic with ripe fruit flavours, a rich refined palate and a touch of residual sugar for a finely balanced finish. A lovely drink. Awarded Silver (17)

Gorgeous scents of lime and gooseberry with more subtle tropical white peach notes. It’s a good example of the style and, at this price, is worth serious buying. Palate is zippy and long with fresh acid and zingy lime juice characters sustaining it perfectly. 91/100
