Tasted by:
(at Sauvignon Blanc comparison tasting, London, 16 Apr 2019)
Drinking Window: 2019 - 2020
The soft mango scents and peachy, astringent palate with vanilla seeping out on the finish seem so exotic that I thought this was from Marlborough. I was wrong. This is a lovely Touraine, with barrel fermentation lending additional richness without completely masking the Sauvignon's character.
