Price Quality balance is negativ. The 2016 is worth drinking, but don't expect to much. The flowery bouquet of the sauvignon can't be overwhelmed by the plenty of wood, because it isn't there. Mayby the effect of the prolonged layering, although it didn't taste oxydated. . Relatively flat in the mouth and the bitterness in the end isn't camouflaged well enough by the fruit of the semillon. Nevertheless it was a nice mediocre glass to enjoy with my portion of 'moules a la crème'.
