more elegant than the NZ Pioneer Block 1 2011, fullbodied and aromatic, not the minerality of a Sancerre, gooseberry, green paprika, kiwii, exotic fruits like mango

Premier nez entre végétal et fumé, puis dominance progressive d'un arôme pétrolé intense. Sensation minérale importante en bouche, acidité marquée, alcool moyen, finale légèrement saline et persistante. Original, pour qui ne voudrait pas d'un Sauvignon variétal.

A bit shy nose of grassy and sweaty character, grapefruit, gooseberries, hints at more tropical fruit and smoky touch. Dry and crispy medium bodied palate with intense feel of green fruit and more peachy/tropical nuances lurking underneath. Long minerally aftertaste with smoky touch of oak. Too young. But showing good intensity and clearly some promise.
