  On nose: complex notes of melon ,hay, and white flowers, with a ghost of nutmeg(?)
  On palate: all above flavour notes( minus the nutmeg)
  with vibrant quince, meyer lemon, tarragon and a clear and present note of quinine, on a sleek, fullish body.
  80% Sauvignon blanc 20% Semillon.....a melding of Old and New world qualities, 14.0% alcohol, slight heat.
  May age well for a few years.

  Tropisch fruit, peper een beetje ziltig en mineralig. Hout in de afdronk duidelijk aanwezig. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding

  This wine has typical sauvignon blanc qualities. It is well balanced and reasonably concentrated. I struggled over 89 or 90 in my head. Ultimately, I found it uninteresting.

  Pale gold color, bright in the glass. Aromas of fresh tropical fruits, melon and papaya with hints of quince & lime, along with secondary saltwater taffy, white pepper, white florals and wet stone. Richly layered on the palate, ripe and fresh grapefruit and stone fruit, over a dense core of dried herbs, fresh florals and ground black pepper. Round and mouthfilling, lifted with fresh acidity and adding an intriguing spice note on your the finish. Open and expressive, yet still firm and dense in its structure. Very nice.

  Has a touch of that cat box gravel note. And a little bit more languid on the palate. A little touch of dry extract too. Just a bit more gumption than some.
