The cork… Oh my… Very poor quality and already soaked 2/3!
Light yellow. Restrained Sb aromas of gooseberry, drying grass, kiwi-banana, cassis and … something dark lurking in here. Licorice? On the plate, it follows the aroma profile and definitely anise seeds (not licorice) with a smooth, creamy texture. Also some off putting aromas of sweetwater aquarium, carambole fruit and fouling vegetables. This is intense, concentrated, long, complex and a very interesting wine.
This wine has both good and wanting aspects. As it's but a padawan, I’m not able to give a proper divination of its future. However, I'm not at all game for more btls of this.
Score is the first of "very good" bracket. If you like unusual aromas in your young Sb's, than you will possibly enjoy this more than we did.

Weekly tasting group RWP: 6 whites and 6 reds fully blind (@ TW): Floral bouquet with ripe apples and impressions of honey. On the palate juicy white fruits, nectarine, a touch of bitterness and good acidity.
