Community Tasting Note

Sauvyfan Likes this wine:

Thursday, March 24, 2011 - As you can surmise by my username, I have tasted a lot of SB's, and a lot of NZSB's. I haven't had a Cloudy in many years because I consider them to lack value. Upon twistoff, the nettles leapt from the botttle, inviting you in from the other side of the room. I had one glass. It was huge. The nose was over the top with grass, nettles and grapefruit. Everything was there, the balance, the fruit, and the razor-sharp acidity. It was all too much. Resealed and came back for seconds on Day 2. A harmony of components came over this wine like no other SB I've had. The nose checked down to reveal tropical notes. The mouthfeel rounded and filled out. The acidity complimented instead of running roughshod over the fruit. Magical. I think this is one SB I would consider decanting; if for no other reason than it would make a great air freshener.
