I was completely surprise when openig this bottle of 2005 SB. I did expect to be after the peak and actually i got beautiful aroma in the glass of the fresh grass, dead nettle followed by lime and fruit. I did not expect so grassy SB as it is from hot California, but well wine is predictable, also the screw cap is probably the ultimately best stopper for white wines one can find, it kept it so fresh and nicely balanced after 5 years on bottle with zero aging tones in the smell.
P.S. pic is ilustrative till I take the picture of the bottle
This is really surprising. I wonder how long it sits in the bottle before aging a little bit???
