Impressive, but a very short time before it was too sweet. compared to Domaine Vincent Girardin Meursault Les Narvaux at 3 times more expensive this £13 wine from the supermarket is ok. too fruity and sweet for my taste but not bad

Very nice Fumé. Much more palatable than typical, pungent Kiwi sauvignon. Very fresh amd a touch of sweetness and minerality. Some lychee too... And rose petal and elderflower when drunk with a Thai red currey. There is something almost gewurz-like or chenin blanc about this but still clearly sauvignon blanc. Complex. However... This falls apart eventually. Two days later and its too sweet and far downhill. So drink up while fresh: it doesn't keep.
