Just opened this bottle, after way too long. Bought it in February 2011, just after a trip to Cape Town. Forgot it was in cold storage in my cellar. Survived nicely. Citrusy, green apple nose. Straw, golden yellow color. Slightly tart, dry taste. All in all, quite nice for an overaged SB.

89-90 this is drinking great. This has more schisty, saline, quartzy element. Becoming slightly more secondary and better. This is a great showing for a non loire sauv blanc.

This was drinking great. More secodary nuance developing. More chalk and minerals and more savory I may hold some bottles a year or two and see what happens.

Very pleasant. Not as grapefruit toward as Chilean SB, and its citrus is very well balanced. Nice drink

- Light gold color - Nice wine. Maybe more schisty than before. Nice chalkiness.
