2007 Cloudy Bay is here – but where’s the rhubarb?
Saturday, January 19th, 2008A red letter day….or rather, a brown box day. My first case of 2007 New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs est arrivé and I am over-excited, but there is good news and bad:
I am slightly disappointed that Dog Point is not included in this year’s case. But this is more than made up for by the price, which at £110 including two bottles of Cloudy Bay seems particularly good value.
The brown box had been left outside my front door, and the ambient temperature was a perfect 8 degrees, so I immediately unpacked the box and cracked open (or rather unscrewed the cap of) the Cloudy Bay. I expected a complex rhubarb and citrus aroma, like the 2006, but was surprised to get a noseful of gooseberry.
