Excellent, expressive SB nose. Ripe gooseberry (fruit and leaf), asparagus, perhaps a trace of 'farmyard' (not a criticism). The wine softened in the glass and showed more tropical than 'grassy' characteristics. This wine is as as good as any New World SB I have tasted. 91 at least. Tasted with Jonathan Stevens, Regional Director for Vina Errazuriz and Vina Caliterra, at Grand Union Wine Society.
