Drank from a magnum, this was a treat. Still maintaining good minerality , the fruit more open & somewhat tropical compared to how this tastes when young. very pleasantly surprised considering age. drink now

Pale gold in colour. Fresh, spicky, green, herbaceous, complex nose, with some oak evident. Palate has lovely, gentle fruit sweetness, no vegetal flavours, just pure, ripe, nettly fruit. Fresh acidity and balance. Finishes slightly oaky and mineral, with creamy, savoury flavours and a flinty smokiness. Very good. And will last. 17

Incredible improvement with some extra bottle time. Candied Citrus, a hint of petrol, ginger, ripe tropical fruit, seasalt, apples, light touch of wood & smoke.

This is good stuff. Okay, we are talking sauvignon blanc, which can only be so good...but within that realm, you cannot beat this. Speaks terroir, if you can grasp that. Not the New Zealand candy wine (which can be good, I admit), this has minerality all over it...good fruit, cat pea, hay and fruit on the nose, and damn good acidity to flush it down. Somewhat round on the palate despite the crispness. Nice.

Elegant med lång eftersmak. Mineral, nässlor och aprikos i smaken, väldigt fint integrerad.
