  Searingly sharp nose of cat pee and grass. Really cut through the nostrils. In the mouth this was fairly one dimensional with an incredibly tarte, mouth puckering finish. Not really my kind of wine.

  CT London Event (Hide Bar, Bermondsey, London): This was put side-by-side with a couple of Silex from different vintages. Talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight. I think this wine was never that good to begin with in the first place though - one whiff, one sniff, and the wine literally screamed "GRASS!!' It was hard to get beyond this after that point. To be fair, It showed some gooseberries and sweet grapefruit on the palate and pleasant dried herbs on the finish. Decent balance, good freshness. All in all though, a little mediocre, even when seen in the context of Marlborough SBs.
