My experience of Chilean SB to date has been "magic lemonade". Light, cheerful, glug, glug. This is a different beast, would have put it in NZ. A tiny frizzy start (what the **** is that) gives way to a complex excellent glass. Petrol, brambles, even some nuts. My M&S mixed doz at 25% off is yielding a few crackers. This is one of them. |

Have you had any NZ sauvs that you prefer to this and if so which ones. I have always found Leyda to be quite Marlborough like but with too much alcohol. |

Microoxygenation is perfectly and accurately descriptive. A teeny, tiny amount of oxygen is bubbled through the wines, giving it just enough to polymerise the tannins and so make the wine smooth beyond its years. |

Btw Happy St David's Day to you all Happy Saint Dave's Day to you Mr G. Nice little folley you've got in the back garden, G. On the Q. above, I think we may assume the former, the likes of the latter have not been seen since the Beatles - These wine marketing execs aren't completely stupid ya know  For Secano, I have their pinot noir in stock to try here. I suppose I ought to get to it, and see if it's all trendy bullsh*t or not. Regretably tho, like you I'm fussy. Talk later Re - Single domaine Rully 2005 Re - G H Martel NV 'Prestige' fromTesco and Sainsbury's which is surprising good for the money. |
