Kerosene. Grapefruit. Roofing tar. Dare I say cat pee?
5th of 6 bottles purchased, and they've all been the same. Have resorted to sangria, cooking with it, or taking it to parties just to try and get rid of it (and it's tainted the food and still doesn't get drunk at parties). I'm starting to think I just don't like Sauv Blanc, but this one is unpalatable.

By the glass at the BA lounge, LHR. Not sure when this was opened. Difficult to place both as region and frankly also grape variety. Firm, clean, cool climate feel but also lacked charm and elegance. 87

A lot of dry extract and possibly some RS. Definitely has texture. Really wanted to love it, but just found it nice and pleasant. Was fine while sitting on the beach, so no complaints at $9 from Garagiste.

Lemongrass and lime, not as mineral as NZ Wines. There is a little bit of grapefruit rind. Has a slightly buttery mouth feel - unusual for sauv but good.

For a cheap Sauvignon Blanc, this was surprising really good. Not a high end but excellent for everyday white to drink/taste and/or cook with.
