Jules
Taylor Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2011 13%
N: Attractive, a little alluring & with enough
complexity to make me smile. Barrel Fermented Sauvignon is not easy to get right – it can easily be
too much of one thing. This wine, however, has just enough of the finer notes:
a light, leesy/sweaty/barrel layer alongside lemon, peach and gooseberry
suggestions – then a ‘classic’ and necessary hay/herbaceous note.
P: Dry and very
tasty with flavour and texture working together. Flavour reflects the nose.
High acidity and barrel work combination add complexity – that extra edge. Very
nice with med + length.
