I cannot believe that this is made from Sauvignon Blanc! Rich, viscous. Good Acidity. Tropical fruit and minerals along with a well balanced slight grassiness. Many things in common with a Sauternes. NO hints of feline excrement. Unbelievable finish. This is a once in a life time experience for me, in terms of price and quality. Mostly the former.

well among other things. I think that this wine might be slightly shut. It is very refined and along with beautiful fruit it has an underlying balanced minerality . Seashells on finish. Very delicate. Choose what you taste along very carefully.

nose of pepper and dark/red fruits. Pepper, dried ginger and blackberry on taste. slight minerality; a burgundian touch. Decent and somewhat tannic finish. very nice. :)

Not your typical parker wine.
It has such noses
of guns and roses.
