Comparison between 05 and 18. 05 is crushing it. Such a beauty showing that an oak-influenced Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon blend can be this good, rivals with those best whites in burgundy. If you buy newer vintages, please be patient. Wait till at least 10 years to open it! — 5 years ago

Really good for a NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Still a little grassy for my taste but more complexity than usual — 16 days ago
