Always fun to 'disprove' theories... I have long felt that well made NZ Sauvignon (which in general I do not particularly like) keeps really well - and this proves the point. 16 years old and delicious. Dark yellow, mature fruits. Very tasty indeed, and NO sign of oxidation (stelvin....). Lovely.

10/14/2022 11:51:00 AM - Thanks for the kind words, my friend. Our home made it through the hurricane just fine, but my office building in downtown Naples was flooded, so we are dealing with that cleanup. Sounds like you have been drinking HB a LOT longer than we have! I really do enjoy these 'so called' lesser Chateau that the true wine snobs would never lower themselves to drinking. As long as they continue doing that, the prices for you and I will stay within reason! Cheers!

Entry level (J Trimbach hates it if one says this) but really good. 16 was a VG year of course. Not for keeping.

Little to add to my earlier note 4 years ago. It is continuing on a Peter Pan trajectory. Spectacularly light and delicious.
