Campbell Mattinson 94 points!
Campbell Mattinson 94 points!Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with some very big differences. Wild yeast fermented, matured in oak, some malo. This is the 15th release; time flies.
It's full on and yet it still manages a sense of restraint. Gooseberry notes are loaded but locked. Smoke, sweet melon, spice, sweat, all manner of dried and bitter and sweet herbs. It's like walking barefoot on the soft lawn, prickly plants all around. It's interesting. It's pleasurable but it keeps you on your toes. Good length and, as it breathes, oomph. Finty fnish. Quite outstanding, in an 'out there' manner.
