Liked this Talley a lot! Some bottles I’d bought before Covid for social visit gifts that didn’t end up getting drunk. I think this was second of five bought. Very nice! Aging well. Excellent balance too.

It’s been 2 years since the last bottle I’ve drunk of this modest 1999 South Africa sauvignon blanc - this bottle was similarly surprisingly great! Full bodied, with grassy, classic SB notes, and still no evidence of decline.

Perhaps drunk too young or not given enough time to breathe? The end of the bottle was definitely better than the first half. Initially somewhat muted, this gradually showed lemon meringue and sweet lemon creaminess (and full bodied) the longer it was open.
