  Rhubarb, earthy, beet root, a little olive, definitely some astringency on the nose, savory, rich, a little sweeter and denser than the Escarpment, less cut and energy too, some black olive character, rhubarb and beet root in the.

I remembered interviewing him in 1989 and the article came out in the Wairarapa-Times Age. I am still a writer although I now practise law in my hometown of Penang, Malaysia. My address is bctan1950@...
