Classic SA sauvignon blanc nose, blackcurrent leaf, slightest hint of green pepper, fresh and clean. The palate is completely unexpected, but in a very good way. Huge complexity, so much going on, very rich and full bodied for a Sauv Blanc. Some citrus, but also riper fruits like guava, and also asparagus. Almost a tanic/drying finish - very long. Overall a very impressive and distanctive wine - like it a lot!

Lovely mature barolo. Fairly light colour, browning on the rim. Classic mushroomy/tertiary flavours, but with enough remnants of fruit to keep it fresh. Decent acidity with a hint of tannin, particularly on the finish. I'd say no massive rush to drink up, but don't leave it too long.
