(Re-Tasted May 18, 2014) ...
I noticed I still have a few bottles of this in the cellar and was ready to dump them when I thought to put a bottle in the fridge and give it a try ... Heck what's the worst thing that could happen, really?
Well I a glad I didn't dump them because I would have missed out on a rare aged Sauvignon Blanc experience. Grassy, lanolin and citrus zest with hints of honey comb and beeswax greeted the nose and continued onto the palate, where a lengthy finish seemed to hang around an extra long time. To me this will always be the wine Darryl Brooker left Ontario after bottling and his legacy lives on, it's still a beauty 5 years from vintage ... Heck I had no idea that Sauvignon Blanc could even live this long and this well, but the fact remains that it still retains a freshness that shows some real appeal.
