TASTING NOTE: Restrained, fruity sauvignon blanc that shows surprising power demonstrated by a very lengthy finish. Impressive purity and bright, high energy flavours suggesting ripe tree fruit flavours, with underlying aromatic herbal character. Drink 2016 to 2020. Score - 94 (Bob Campbell, MW, bobcampbell.nz, Nov. 2, 2016) |
