Community Tasting Notes 2

• FreddyP wrote: 89 points

  May 25, 2007 - A singelton needed to be consumed, poured straight from the bottle the colour is pale yellow. The nose is almost artificially strong and hits with a massive tone of gooseberry and that of a cup of finely chopped coriander. A touch of lime is also noted. The taste is quite typical sauvignon blanc, very fresh and quite balanced, not so much acidity left though, hints of tropical fruit. Medium long finish. A very good match to mussels with coriander, ginger and coconut milk. 89+ points.

  November 26, 2006 - The colour is clear with a pale greenish tone around the rim. Huge nose that hits you with almost an artificial fullness to it, gooseberry, with a hint of cream and lime.
  Quite a pleasant, fresh, acid yet fruity taste of lime/grapefruit, grass and berries. Summer comes to mind. Not so full on the taste though. On the other hand a long, quite balanced, finish with a soft acid roundness.
  
  Nice wine which would be better if it wasn’t below zero degrees outside.
