At first I thought I was smelling a riesling kabinett; the nose was
like peach, grape and honey, minerally, and intensly aromatic. Upon
swirling and in palate, classic SBs' pungent and herbacous aroma which
resembles cut grass dominated. Bright mid-palate, not as racy as a
typical Marlborough SB but still had generous acidity. Just when I
thought SBs are best left to the New Zealanders, Leal came up with
this stunner... Interesting!
This bottle of wine was sealed by a glass stopper. This is the first
time I saw such a bottle closure. Like most good ideas I wondered why
no one have done this earlier; it's easy to open, easy to close, and
looks elegant too. I still haven't think of a real disadvantage.
