I've never tasted a wine like this, where the aromas are so different than the flavours. On the nose you expect almost a sweet wine, with honey, lychees, quince jelly, citric fruits and freshness. But on the palate you find high acidity (remember, it´s a 94 vintage), salty notes, peach, grapefruit, some creaminess and mineral notes as the temperature raises. Really complex and surprising, and curiously with less mineral notes than expected.

From memory. Not my favorite grape, but this is just about as tasty as SB gets for me. Nice texture, more fruit and less herbs.
