2004 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
(2006-06-02 12:34:27 UTC)I have a soft spot for NZ Sauvignon and this is a perennial favourite .. assuming you can find a bottle such is it's notority.
The small amount of Semillon added makes for a slightly fuller body compared to something like the Highfield Sauvignon Blanc.
Best enjoyed a few years after release (18 - 30 months) as it opens out and loses some of the greeness of it's youth
2005 Highfield Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
(2006-06-02 12:29:29 UTC)The Highfield Sauvignon Blanc has a stunning amount of gooseberry fruits on the nose. Strong levels of alcohol but the fruit seems to balance it well.
Much better than the 2004 vintage and now in a screwcap to keep it fresher still.
Had with assorted shellfish and it really held it's own and complimented the food very well. Highly recommended.
