Rich delicious and somewhat evolved but has the stuffing to last a few more years. Really cool wine

Incredibly intriguing Sauvignon blanc, totally different expression, rich, spicy, tropical (over the top but not in a heavy way), RIPE, some RS, raw power.

2007. Comes across more Pichler and Smaragd than Sauvignon Blanc. Really good!

Really interesting SB. Flamboyant, exotic and tropical. Very rich. Perfect with pan sautéed scallops.

Came off across a tad off dry. Loved the aroma on this wine kept putting my nose into the glass. Stone fruits- peach, apricot, hints of pineapple and honeysuckle. A food wine.
