Very good SB for the price

My second last bottle of a case. The 2009 has changed a bit since last summer, not as fresh and zesty as I remember. Still very good, but I clearly prefer my SB's to be as young as possible. The last bottle needs to be drunk soon, just like myself :-)

Very nice as usual. Right after having opened the bottle, I tasted for reference, and I got a hint of cat's urine. This evaporated somehow, because I could not recognise this just minutes later. Crisp and fresh on the nose, almost makes your mouth begin to water. On the palate, some lemon and as the 09 gets older also some cornfield/hay notes. Had not gotten that before. An absolute steal QPR-wise. Complemented a fried cod filet with lemon nicely.

Still lovely but has lost its freshness and gained further weight on the palate. The 2010's are better now.
