Sound enough wine. Very atypical though. No real gooseberry/asparagus but no real clean minerality as per Loire SB either. No tropical fruits so what was there? Medium body, moderate acidity. Indefinable fruit. No idea why JR apparently liked this!

Interesting wine. Quite a muted nose, just slightly grassy. Slight spritz to taste; surprisingly full bodied; quite exotic but very smooth and rounded flavour and texture. Recognisably Sauvignon Blanc, but not in a style I have encountered before. Nice.

Not at all as expected - no tropical fruits, but also no fresh, green apple notes, either. Much creamier, almost viognier-like. Quite good, but very surprising.
