The Loop (DQ), Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough (2019) 750ml

The aromatics on the 2019 Loop are richer and more complex than previous years with a dense, broad slightly spicy, herby character that somehow manages to remain floral despite the intensity. Rich and even secondary (biscuity) aromas overlay all. Bright, zesty, floral, mineral, intense attack that is balanced by a richness of super ripe citrus. The mid palate is at once weighty but light, rich but fresh. The finish is super long, a rich but with a fresh, focussed acidity. The 2019 Loop is great now but, I believe, in 12-24 months’ time will be evolve into something even better.
