Megamoon Part IV: Chile; 10/30/2015-10/31/2015 (Tasting in Santiago and visit to Colchagua Valley): Drank this both as the first wine with lunch and later as the example of the entry wines during the official tasting. Didn't take detailed notes for either, but general impression is this was a bit more hard edges than the Alexander Cuvee (which followed at lunch). Very green and sharp acidity but just a touch more disjointed. I'd recommend paying up for the Cuvee level though as that was much better.

At the winery during a tasting. Fresh and decent acidity. Baked apples, citrus on the nose. Nice mouthfeel. Pleasant but not elegant. Would be a good crowd pleasing Summer wine

Not as poor as the rather appalling 2012; on the nose and palate this actually does display some varietal typicity and freshness, the style is soft and easy but flavours are adequate and the finish has decent length. Expensive (€ 8.99) for what it is; you can do far better for less.

Well structured SB. Good mouthfeel and nicely balanced. Apple and a trace of citrus. More French in character it is a nice change from the NZ style.
