Powerful! Still youthful and fruity, so I see no need to hurry! Nice flavours of pineapple and a healthy acidity. Great! One of the better white wines in my cellar. Unfortunately this was my last bottle. 92+

2nd bottle, very different from the last. Cats pee and tomato stalk on the nose. Flat fruit, yellow apples and goosberry, astringent acidity, some orange peel bitterness. Flawed bottle or over the top? I dont know, but this bottle was not good.

Klar, lys strågul. Eik, mild aprikos, voks og sitronskall på nese. Hint av kull. Bløt, fyldig, dyp og fruktdreven i munnen. Viskøs og med høy fruktmodning, men uten å bli for tung. Frisk syre. Svært lang utgang med god fedme.

Pale yellow, nose of lemon and summer flowers. Palate shows lemon, grapefruit and that unmistakable goosebery scent thats so clearly marks SB. Very fresh, vivid acidity and ultra long - great white bdx and very good at this price!

Bright vivid citrus and lemon. Great with oysters or shellfish. Nose typical of Sauvignon Blanc which im not a big fan of but taste and acidity was great.

Clear light straw coloured core with a white watery rim. The nose comes off muted with only faint citrus, mineral and vegital notes present. On the palate, fresh acidity salivates the mouth and is restrained only by the moderate fruit intensity of tart gooseberry, key lime, starfruit and green unripe apple. It really is a punch of flavor that gets backed up with tons of flinty minerality and a long mineral laden finish. I found this quite delicious and look forward to seeing it gain more complexity. Drinks beautifully now but holding on to it for a few years will be beneficial. Drink now - 2018 Outstanding Quality. 92 pts.

1980s Bordeaux; 6/18/2010-6/20/2010: Lots of vanilla/oaky scents but not woody. Notes of quince, clove, and cut grass. Very dry and a bit tart, leaving the bouquet superior, but excellent value.

Hazelnut nose that carries through on the palate with an oily rich nutty flavor and lengthy finish.

Fresh sliced peaches and white flowers on the nose with peach fruit and hazelnuts on the palate. Mid length finish of stone fruit.

UGC 2007 Bordeaux (Drake Hotel): Medium nose of sour lemon. Nice refreshing sauvignon notes with good acidity and balance.
