  Nose - 90. Full fruited, with notes of peach and apple. Palette - 90 - abit of peach, some apple, some astringency. The nose developed some complexity after 1/2 hour in the glass, but the palette did not change.

  Zesty grass has given way to guava. Still very good but past prime.

  Found this one hiding, and happy that we did. Medium gold; grassy, green apple nose. Still some spritz and acidity. Herbaceous, mineral, green apple and pronounced grapefruit flavours. Worked well with garlic-lime chicken.

  What a surprise, this bottle got moved in my cellar and I just found it. I didn't expect much from a 7+ year old SB. Very nice grapefruit nose, not as pronounced as when this wine was young, much more subtle almost like a grapefruit preserve with some background minerality. A very mellow grapefruit taste with a richer mouth feel than expected. The finish at first was very long but after having been open for a half hour it had shortened (or my palate had fatigued). (N.B. this wine was stored from purchase at 54 degrees.) An entirely different wine (and very pleasurable in a different way) than it was 5 years ago. Sometimes it's fun losing track of a bottle.
