  Premoxed and totally disjointed. Dumped down the sink and opened a 14 which drank proper.

  PnP enjoyed equally over two days. Still good freshness to the nose and palate. The palate's gotten more broad than when I first had this a few years ago (expected), and the length offers just a bit more, too. All in all, this is behaving just as I'd want it to at this stage. Proper acidity, and balance keep me coming back to this bottling. Easily highly recommended, now and the coming five years, anyway.

  The taste grows on you. Not immediately lovable. Shiny/sunny yellow in colour. Aromas show gooseberries, lemon, smokiness. Flavours follow. Definite telltale sauv blanc flavours. Medium weight with a nice freshness, touch of creaminess and lemon pith bitterness. But their is some body weight to the wine. Nice wine but not quite my style in a sauv blanc.

  My lands! An intense golden honeyed yellow color and exquisite in the glass. This looks like an aged white Rhone rather than Sauvignon Blanc. Apricot (in spades), cantaloupe, gooseberry and something almost, but not quite diesel-y, and yes while it showed some lymon it was not so much as to give this away as Sauvignon Blanc. The mouthfeel huge … almost hugely. As before a “wonderful wine” but more so. Such a shame that this is my last bottle. If I ever come across this again, I’ll know to hold it for minimum of seven to eight years before opening. 14.5% alc. With shrimp and cheeses. 07.01.23. Recommended.
