  Let it hit the air for about 2 hours. Tropical notes are jumping out of the glass. Softer tropical notes , not very aggressive. Imagine sweet bananas if that makes sense. A soft smell but pungent in its on right. No grassy notes at the time I drank it. Semi acidic citrus flavors that carry throughout the finish. As the wine warms it takes on more what I know sauv blanc to smell like in general. The softness that I described above changes to a more aggressive state but not overdone The Lime n lemon acidity just sits in your mouth. Nose starts to smell of green apples

  왜 쇼비뇽 블랑의 강자인지 제대로 보여준 녀석
  고급스런 산도와 복합적인 미네랄리티를 나타낸다

  Sharp and intensive with grapefruit and green chile notes. Really classic NZ sav blanc.

  Light, pale straw in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe citrus notes of lime/grapefruit, gooseberries & apple & a hint of tropical fruit notes of passion fruit with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, wet stones/minerals, flinty & a hint of lemongrass. Light bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & crisp textured, ripe citrus fruit flavors of tart grapefruit, lemons/limes & a hint of pineapple with lemongrass & minerals. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but should develop further with additional aging.

  88$ at restaurant extremely strong grapefruit then opened up into green bell pepper but the pyrazines never mellowed out as much as I thought they would
