Description
Crystalline, with slight greenish hues. The nose is intense with aromas ranging from green chili and asparagus to white fruits such as green apple and lime, as well as more tropical notes such as passion fruit and lychee. In the mouth it stands out for its acidity, freshness and tension. A fresh yet complex Sauvignon Blanc that invites you to enjoy it with seafood.

): It’s not really a 94-point wine, but I have to get your attention. This wine shows the deficiency of using points to rate a wine. It’s spectacular in the context of a $10 bottle Sauvignon Blanc. If there’s a more enjoyable one out there at the price, please let me know. On its own merits, it deserves 89 points. But given its value, it’s worth a lot more. Consumers should not be surprised that when one of the greatest winemaking companies of the world — Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) — undertakes a project, the wines will sing. And this one does. Graceful and refined, the attractive bite of Sauvignon Blanc is still present. Absent is the lapel-shaking electricity or the herbaceous intrusion found in many other Sauvignon Blanc. It finishes with a palate-cleansing lime-like accent. Graceful — it’s exactly what you’d expect from Lafite. Ten dollars a bottle — that’s a surprise.
