Undurraga Aliwen Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Tasted at the same time as 2010 vintage this vintage is sourced predominately from Leyda valle, which is cool climate. The wine is slightly more expressive in the nose than 2010 vintage due to less time on bottle, however it is very similar to 2010 vintage and it feels cool climaty, grassy with currant leaves character. Comparing to 2010 vintage it is slightly rounder in the mouth and less zesty and fresh. Scoring and notes are the same as in JUne 2013. I gave now both wines the same scores but I have a slight preference for 2010 vintage. This is clear why in April 2011 I gave 2010 vintage 87 points as it was fresher;-)
