17/20
Less aromatic than the two 2012s, still recognisably Sauvignon Blanc but more 'complex white wine' than simply varietal Sauvignon. Really tangy grapefruit on the palate, maybe orange pith too. Seems quite light bodied given the alcohol but it's pretty long. Clean-cut grapefruit aftertaste. Elegant and fresh and dry and remarkably youthful.
