Very good dry style of Sauvignon Blanc type of blend. Visible minerality accompanied by citric acidity and bone dry flavor, quite different wine when compared to recent tastings I did where majority of the wines had residual sugar in them. I tasted the wine about year ago here where you can find the pictures of the labels. Todays notes are very similar, the wines is very stable and does not show bigger signs of aging and did no move significantly from last year.
