Black Cottage Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Name:Black Cottage Sauvignon Blanc (853)
Variety:Sauvignon Blanc (15)
Producer:Black Cottage
Region:Marlborough

I tasted the 2016 vintage of this wine on 07 May 2017 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was bright, light lemon gold. The bouquet had crisp citrus lime, and tropical fruit. There was capsicum, citrus, and grassy flavours, and a dry crisp long acidic finish. This wine was crisp, dry and clean, but lacking a bit of varietal character.
I tasted the 2023 vintage of this wine on 18 Apr 2024 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok.
The colour was very pale clear straw gold. The bouquet had quite sweet tropical, and light lime acidity. There was tropical fruit, grassy and capsicum flavours, and a medium dry citrus acid finish. This wine had lighter body, and was quite crisp, with moderate intensity.

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
