It's crunch-time... the release of the Flagship SB of our '05 vintage. (And after the multi-trophy and medal winning '04 vintage, big shoes need to be filled.)
Well, I'm going to sound like a company stooge, but... I don't think we need to worry. It's a stunner.
Huge, pungent nose of passionfruit and goosebery, finely balanced acidity, and longer than a German opera on the finish. A really classy Kiwi Savvie, at LEAST the equal of the '04.
I love my job. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
