Sunday, November 26, 2023 - Lots of hype on this one so I felt the urge to open one and try it out on my wife who likes NZ SB. She's very sensitive to oak and dislikes that flavor in her SB. Popped and poured with maybe 15 minutes of air before consuming. Crystal clear with just a hint of yellow color. Nice scent of white flowers, a touch of seashell, lifted by mild lemon acidity. Flavors repeated the scents on the palate. Very elegant, but a bit light in body. It left me seeing the potential but wanting more flavor intensity. Very nice, but not in the class of Baudry's best which delivers the quality and intensity of flavor I like in SB for half the price. She liked it very much.

However, I do know most of K-E wines are built or aging, and I suspect this may not be too different, even though it is a SB. Good luck on future bottles....cheers!

In fact, I would call it medium bodied, maybe even leaning towards medium plus, with plenty of flavor....but also lots of acidity which gives it that 'lighter' mouth-feel. No right/wrong here of course and it's always helpful to hear others opinions.....but that's my $0.02 from here in the cheap seats :) Cheers!
