Interesting, my experience of The David Knappstien / John Forrest collaboration is the opposite of that. I opened another on Thursday Day one is as you like it Goose - some Pungency and Prickle. This dK wine has improved since December and the flavours are locked in a little more. The taste of ripe pink grapefruit is now coming to the mid palate, a tiny bit of Mango, but little other tropical fruit notes and no lychee at all. I think you'd like the dK more Goose, but as I have advised, you must still drink in the one evening - next day, and you are left with bright white SB wine - nothing more, but I suppose, unlike others from the the southern hemisphere - nothing less and nothing mouldy. I quite like a sweet composty note on a racey Ruly, or palate cutting Auxey (v.pale chardonnay) but on polished high tech SB - dumb - it's sort of wierd... Sweet compost and meadow with light french oak is lovely - Yes....but on high tech SB ? I, like you, don't really understand those who look for an over verdant, bean sprout or avocado note with this sort of unoaked sauvignon blanc style. |
