Weekend in London; 5/12/2017-5/13/2017 (Ledbury, Il Baretto, Hedonsim): Just finished reading Rex Pickett's Chile (the third in the Sideways series) and he references this maker and their SBs so figured it was worth a try. Only a pound for the 1 oz tasting at Hedonism. It is possible the description in the book was a bit overdone. This did have very vibrant acidity - almost overdone, but then it was very much the grassy, cat piss, NZ form of the grape that isn't quite how I prefer it to be done. Maybe some asparagus. Not for me. And esp next to the SQN Lightmotif not in the same league.

Very aromatic nose - lime, asparagus, canned vegetables, and capsicum. The palate is lighter the intense aromas on the nose; still on greenish side but with a tropical lushness and sweet fruited gooseberries, touch minerality. Only downside is the finish which is abrupt.

Mucho espárrago en nariz. En boca redondo, buena acidez, bien parado, pero por su nariz mucho menos elegante que el Casa Marin 2005.

Sempre perfeita com peixes crus. Desta vez com ceviche.

Maravilhoso como sempre. Complexidade olfativa e leveza com acidez em boca.
