| TASTING NOTE: Here is a nicely even, slightly rich and well fruited sauvignon with well integrated passion fruit, green pepper, dill, grapefruit and mild fennel notes. I like the calm yet lively palate, the flavour focus and very good length. Marks here for balance and complexity. Tasted November 2016. Score - 90 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, July 28, 2016) |
