2016 vintage. Had 2 bottles in 2019. Remember it to be a solid Sauv Blanc. Wish I wrote down detail notes. Tasting the 2016 today again, was worried it may not have aged well. Surprised with all the tropical notes of coconut, lychee, dried apricot while still maintaining a healthy dose of grapefruit acidity and herbaceous notes of freshly cut grass. This wine has aged so well in the bottle. Definitely in its prime but probably can age 2 more years.
