I liked the  2006 very much. And I’ve found exactly what I expected.

This Sauvignon Blanc has a pale color between water-white and lemon-yellow and a lively, appealing move in the glass.

The nose has a very fresh, citrus aromatic character with what many would call cat’s pee. It’s a relatively complex bouquet with gooseberry and some apple, lime and lemon zest notes.

This wine has a small-medium body, relatively well integrated with fresh, long acidity and a tart element on the finish. On the palate it’s first fresh and fruity (mainly citrus fruits, gooseberry and the grape’s aromas), from the mid-palate it’s long and slightly bitter. It has  very nice texture, firm, almost metallic, but soft and pleasant. At higher temperature the wine has a more bitter character. I prefer it cold and fresh.

This wine is light with a decent depth, drinks very well now but I’m suspecting that it won’t be much better with time. Good value for the money.
