bright lemon straw colour with a grassy nose, also showing a little pea and a faint touch of smoked meat.
Quite complex palate with lemon & butter making just as much noise as the more normal asparagus & passion fruit, with nettle coming through at the end. The acidity does a good job at refreshing without imposing itself unduly.
The wine may still not manage subtle, but it's certainly got complexity and interest and almost a year on from the previous bottle it's much improved.

Certainly a more complex style of SB, but still with much of the typical intensity.
