I recently travelled to the UK where I had dinner with a fellow wino. He pulled this maturing Sauvignon Blanc out for openers- it was probably the best Sancerre I have ever tasted. My notes were crude but you get the idea.
Viscous, pale lemon- surprising with medium viscosity (13% ABV). Intense aromas of gooseberry, lime verbena, jalapeño, asparagus. High acidity, medium (+) bodied with a very unique opening- vegetal medley with a smoky note, perhaps a bit reductive? Burnt sulphur that should ease off once in air. Stunning and young- till 2030. 93 points for this $100 bottle makes it a 4 star wine in my books. Salut….
