  Oh wow
  Leaps out of a cold bottle
  Beautiful honeyed floral notes
  Fresh and on the light side to begin
  Picked up weight as it opened up

  Naso floreale, tipico sauvignon (foglia pomodoro limonata, peperone verde) con un secondario tropicale. In bocca e' leggerissimo, elegantissimo e si propone con fiori e frutti bianchi e un leggero acido limonato. Sembra di bere una key lime pie liquida e senza burro. Lodevole sauvignon estremamente equilibrato e molto piacevole.

  Friday Tasting Group: "Killer Bar" (#05 for me) (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): “100% S.B. (more French than Italian clones), ave age 21 yrs, planted with E-W & N-S exposures in the rather shallow, with generous gravel-pebbly texture, sand-silt (of a reddish hue due to presence of ferrous and aluminum oxides), well drained soils of the 101 ft elev Vieris Vyd; Harvested 9/10, 12, & 15/2015; Destemmed with pre-fermentation cold maceration @ 46° F, ff’d by cold settling; Fermented for 23 days @ 61-66° F using selected yeast strains, malolactic being blocked; Aged 9 mos on the lees [1 source saying in barriques, though the winery doesn’t specify the vessel] ff’d by natural clarification is s/s; Bottled 7/22 & 23/16, then bottle-aged 8 mos; 13.80% ABV, 5.45 g/L T.A., & 3.35 pH.”
  
  N: Peaches with notes of cat pee; Intensity lurking?
  
  P: Med, poss, MF body; RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish frt firmed by an acidity which controls the action into & through the LONG, very, VERY slightly bitterish finish. I'm thinking this may well improve with another 6 mos or so, then drink through '22? IF not, my EXC- (90,91/100 using that metric) would be high. 96 pts Suckling & 89 WE @ $47 (8/1/17). [As of late Oct '19, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $37].
  
  Note: Good naturedly panned by MOST of the participants (they found grass/cat pee MARKEDLY on top), *I* was grateful for its inclusion as I was previously TOTALLY unaware the region produced such a style. ;)

  This is a slight perfume, mild tang, overall not so good. No personality to the wine.
