Same bottle as nutty08. I had the advantage of drinking a 16 Vatan last night, And if Sauvignon Blanc is at all your thing, this is very, very close in terms of quality. The label says 14.5% alcohol, but may be higher. I think it’s integrated just fine today. If that’s what it takes to achieve those Notes of guava, passionfruit, Alongside some honeydew melon, I’ll take it every time.

Really hard to ignore the alcohol here but it’s quite solid. White flowers and peach notes with just a little tropical fruit flavors. Just can’t get past the heat and alcohol.

Medium color. Funky mineral and melon. Chalky whetstone. A touch of almond. The palate is rich, with sweet fruit and very broad. A little honey and melon. Lacks a little acid. Very ripe and powerful. Silky. Lemon meringue A very nice wine although not traditional. Extremely bold.
