Mhm... I am a true Tement fan, maybe that is why I am a bit dissapointed. This Sauvignon did not meat my expectation at all. It was a bit plain and I could not really identify the terrain. I missed a bit of minerality, a bit of complexity, a bit of a stronger finish. Do not get me wrong, this is a good wine, of great quality and good taste, but I missed something I am normally used to from Tement wines. For example the Ciringa blew me away... great taste for unbeatable price. Maybe one should give the wine a bit time in the bottle before consuming. Maybe it opens up a bit. Still have a bottle left, maybe next year or so it will surprise me.

Südsteiermark, Slovenia and Collio (Friuli Venezia Giulia); 9/7/2019-9/20/2019 (Südsteiermark, Slovenia and Collio (Friuli Venezia Giulia)): Slightly vegetal smell, some salty minerals. Sour in the mouth, but a good solid body. Unusual and not of the same standard as the Gamlitz or Kitzeck.
