Comm. G.B. Burlotto, Langhe, Sauvignon Dives

Fabulous QPR

Really drinkable Sauvignon with a bouquet of stone fruit and some lemon The palate has a creamy mouthfeel and good freshness. Nicely oaked Sauvignon Blanc.

Burlottothon (Terra Rossa, N1) : Look, it's ripe Savvy B. It's not OTT on the cat piss-ometer but as a general rule I prefer to drink things that don't remind me of animal urine. It's got a warming, toasty tone and a satisfying fresh greenness along with passion fruit and vanilla. I do like the palate despite myself. Direct, concentrated and refreshing: pure yellow and orange fruit, integrated acidity and finishes with a bitter twist.

This is oaked and has a spicy nose with a grassy backdrop and a touch of peach. Unfurls a bit with time in the glass. More fruit forward with high acidity peach and a touch of sweet lemon. Crisp with a little weight and perhaps a little more complexity than a normal SB

lemon, shiny colour. very good. nose: herbs (geranium, nettle, sage), sweet lemon some honeysuckle. taste: high acid, good body; some nectar and honey notes; very ripe lemon; very long, balsamic, thick finish. Bit developed but still very good.

Sehr mineralisch, frisch, prägnante Säure, wenig Süße, extraktreich, Stachelbeere, Kiwi, kräutrige Anklänge nach Honig im Abgang

2016 Villa d’Este Wine Symposium - Kelly, Alan and Kevin's excellent adventure; 11/3/2016-11/12/2016 (Villa D’este, Lake Como, Piedmont, Milan and Frankfurt) : Rich yet refreshing SB nose, kiwi and grapefruit dominates, honey and a hint of steely mineral. There is no green notes/cat pee. Good concentration, rich oily palate, good acidity, a hint of sweetness and a medium to long clean cool finish. Really refreshing and clean wine. This is closer to a good pouilly fume than a NZ SB.
