Tasting Notes - Barratt Sauvignon Blanc 2007

I was looking forward to tasting the 2007 vintage as the 2006 got such a good write up in Halliday's latest. Pale golden yellow, a sweet, tropical fruit and bubblegum aroma, very pronounced. Nice silky texture on the palate with quite intense apple and pineapple flavours. My initial impression was that of a bitter finish but I actually think it finished a bit hot from the 14.5 % alcohol which is just too high for this variety.
