Still going strong. No petrol yet, just a hint of dried apricot to show its age...

Now back to the wine... it's not as good as my cooking! Grapefruit and lemon zest on the nose. Palete has vibrancy with delicate sweetness. Pineapples citrus fruits bring up the rear. Not too much to write home about here. To be fair, the wine didn't stand a chance tonight 😃
