This showed reaalllly well about a week ago. Reminded me significantly of a young bottle of Pur Sang. Though to be fair, it's been a few years since I've had a young bottle of Pur Sang. For the tariff, this is pretty special. Great delineation, with some richness. Unmistakably Sauv Blanc, but not too far into the cat pee spectrum.

I've always felt that the Terlan wines offered solid value, but this is stepping it up a notch.
 
Just opened my second bottle of the 2018. The first was with Comrades Marc and Brian way up north. This bottle is just as precise. The 2016 might well have tasted like this when it was a couple of years younger. Worth searching out if you like sauv blanc at all.
