Just tasting a bottle of the 2001. It's like the Semillion grape content has taken over. It's a lovely wine. Matured really well. Waxy, lanolin. I would like some feedback on this. I love it but views may vary.
Evening all. Just drank a bottle of this. I have said before this wine seems to become less like sauvignon and more like like semillion with time. Comments please!

We had this on Christmas day. I liked it. Not like a sauvignon anymore. It tasted as if there was more semillion in it now. A bit like a voigner based wine.

So everyone we had two bottles of this wine tonight. Same case same storage and one was totally oxidised. Deep colour with sherry tones. However the second bottle was very good. From the fridge the nose was dead but once warmed a bit it was a bit of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. I really liked it but the wife wanted a 2014 NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Women eh. However I think she was right. I have bottles of Cloudy Bay back to 1996. I know, crazy stupid boy, but plan to drink and update as and when.
