Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc

Name:	Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc (840)
Variety:	Sauvignon Blanc (15)
Producer:	Astrolabe
Region:	Marlborough
I tasted the 2016 vintage of this wine on 05 Mar 2018 when it was 2 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was light-medium clear yellow gold. The bouquet had crisp citrus capsicum, and was crisp and dry. There was a smooth lemon, grassy capsicum start, and a medium dry acid finish. This wine was clean and crisp style, and quite dry.
I tasted the 2024 vintage of this wine on 19 Oct 2024 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was clear pale greenish gold. There was a tropical fruit and a crisp capsicum grassy bouquet. There was peach fruit, and dry crisp grassy flavours, with a medium dry mineral acid finish. This wine had medium body, and was crisp and clean style with a bit of fruit balance.

Average (3.5):

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.
