Notes
Well, this is the seventh vintage of this wine we’ve reviewed, and I think it’s getting better and better. Seems I’ve been the Assyriko Man (I could make a Seinfeld reference, but won’t, because I’m not The Assman!) for the most part, with MB chiming in once. We now wait for CM or KS to review the next vintage. Anyway, this is just the ticket for a 35c September day in Sydney.
Lots of crunch, plenty of bite. It’s frisky, lemon zest, green apple and aromatic herbs, a little fennel. Texture is excellent, along with fresh thirst-slaking quinine-laced dryness, and a juicy/dry finish of excellent length. Very good. Energetic. Delicious.
