Overripe melon and citrus with a rather unpleasant over-the-top grassiness. Lots of banana peppers. The rest of our tasting group pronounced it undrinkable but I thought it was better than that. Still, a wine that will bring out strong opinions.

This is apparently the last of the 2015. Wow, that is ultra grassy. Leyda is to the north of Santiago and heading towards the beach. Super darn gooseberry. Asparagus and electrifing I am being told and that is the case. They want a serious wine - lots of fruit but no RS. They harvest 45 days earlier and do a splash of carbonic to the wine. Only about 10 minutes. Although I am being told that its unexpected Chilean SB I would say that this is what I expect from Chile.

By the glass at 36k feet courtesy of American Airlines. Bright and fresh, lightly oaky , grassy, good fruit and albeit ripe has a good acidity profile that keeps the wine bright. Quite enjoyable on its own and full of charm. A good 89.

Light Sauvignon Blanc, fresh and crisp, (light) tropical flavours/fruits, but not much complexity. For 5 € instead of 10 € a real bargain :)
