Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Bewertungen

Rebecca Gibb MW: 1 von 10 must-try New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

Michael Cooper: 5 Sterne. This exceptional wine is highly aromatic, weighty and sweet-fruited, with intense, ripely herbaceous flavours and a crisp, very long finish.

Bob Campbell, MW: 95/100. Intense, precise sauvignon blanc with grapefruit, citrus, subtle passionfruit and a suggestion of struck flint character. A powerful wine that's long and linear, with strong varietal definition that's made more intristing with a hint of reductive character.

Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier: 94/100 (= outstanding wine of superior character and style). A powerful yet controlled even complex bouquet of SB with aromas of apples and white flowers, wet stones and grapefruit, sweet hay, gooseberry and white peach. Tense, youthful, vibrant, varietal and packed with energy. A core of fruit reflects the impact and power from the bouquet, zippy acidity, some fruit spice and sweet hay all leading to a long finish. What's not to like! Drink now and through 2021.

Decanter: 93/100 & Wines of the Year 2020: white wines. (Blind tasted by Ronan Sayburn MS, Beth WillardAndy Howard MW (at Decanter's Wines of the Year tasting, London, 15 Oct 2020)). Herbaceous on the nose with bell pepper and pea shoots along with lime, guava and passion fruit. Some spice and exotic fruits on the palate and a smokey character that adds roundness. Elegant and balanced with a long finish. Drinking Window 2021 - 2024

James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 93/100. Really pristine fruit aromas here with such pure, ripe red cherries and roses, as well as gently earthy and spicy nuances. Very fresh, precisely ripe and a pinot you can sit and just breathe in for days. The palate has a velvety layer that few others manage to find; silky at the core, succulent in the center and delivering such vibrant, red-cherry flavors in a long, pristine and fresh, red-cherry finish.

Joe Czerwinski für Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 92/100. Perhaps the most complex regular Savvy I can recall from Dog Point, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc offers up aromas that range from subtle notions of garden peas to melon, nectarine and pink grapefruit. It's medium-bodied and silky in texture, generous yet crisp, with a focused, slightly chalky and deliciously lingering finish. Drink Date 2020-2022.

Wine Spectator (Marry-Ann Worobiec): 92/100. Mouthwatering and vivid, with a laser beam of focus and intensity to the Meyer lemon, ruby grapefruit and dried mango flavors. Peppery white flower aromas and a touch of freshly grated ginger add complexity.

Jancis Robinson, MW (JancisRobinson.com): 17/20. Very slightly reductive, struck-match nose and extra-bright fruit with strong passionfruit aromas and a certain amount of delicacy. Chalky finish. Lots of interest here. Very youthful and energetic indeed. Compliment.

Air New Zealand - Fine Wines of New Zealand 2019. Ein Wein, der als ein Weltklasse-Beispiel für Neuseelands beste Weine steht. "A deeply characterful style of sauvignon blanc, cleverly using rich reductive elements to provide complexity and depth to the intense citrus and stonefruit. Powerful and long, this is a tightly wound wine that repays time in both glass and bottle."
