Stunning 3 bottle price !

Big intense tropical flavours. Full bodied from the 13.5% alc and I would guess prolonged skin contact or maybe a little oak.

Similar to Grove Mill and Kaituna Hills reserve.

No blackcurrent leaves or green pepper so not for me, but, if you like the style then £5 is very cheap.

Tasted it last week:

"Attractively herbal aroma. Some residual sugar. Fruity. Alcohol verging towards warm and not particularly thirst-quenching."

This wine is quite typical of many reserve MB sauvs and not my style at all.

Twas one of Jancis top 50 white wines of 2007.

What does she know :wink:

Have you tried The Reach at Tesco yet

My high-tech tasting notes database says I haven't.

I only have praise for Jancis, not just because I work for her.

I've noticed that if a full bodied sb is left in the fridge overnight, it mellows quite a lot.

~James May mode~

This is a wine fact

~end James May mode~

This was quite enjoyable on the second day.

Not that I would buy it again. But still. it's interesting to note..
