Smoky nose – reductive? Stalky? Vegetal and a lime citrus quality. Plenty of acidity and tension here, has a little more breadth than the Lacryma and maybe a hint of creaminess about it. Ripe, with oily/bitter notes and perhaps a hint of nut. Clean but… this reduction comes across as rubbery to me. Could appeal to Sauvignon drinkers.

As for previous bottle, just nothing in the way of the promised intense bouquet, and only one-dimensional grapefruit flavor, although with a refreshing finish.

Lacklustre and disappointing. The back label promised aromas of tropical citrus fruits and aromatic herbs. In fact there was no aroma at all, in spite of continued encouragement and swirling over a couple of hours. The pink grapefruit on the palate was one dimensional although it did have a clean finish. I have another bottle which I will try, in case this was faulty (although there was no hint of taint or any other problem).
