2004 Nobilo, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, $12. Intense gooseberry and jalapeno aromas energize the nose. The palate explodes with passion fruit, gooseberries and white peaches, finishing full and crisp; 90/91.
2004 Nobilo, Sauvignon Blanc, Icon, Marlborough, New Zealand, $22. Concentrated aromas of gooseberries and citrus highlight this full, crisp SB. Rich tropical fruit unfolds in the mouth, with gooseberry notes adding character. Complex and lovely; 93/93.

I have retruned! From layzness and absent-mindedly forgetting to check the board for a while.
Ahh, House of Nobilos. Just down the road a shade from Matua. Normally pretty high-quality stuff, with an amazingly good Noble Riesling.
Too bad you'll probably never get to try their Selaks Founders Resevere Syrah. Whee-doggie, that one was a stunner.
I notice you get the '04's just as the 05's are appearing on shelves here. You think they good when YOU get them? Try them a month after bottling. DAMN good.
I'll stop bragging now. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

That Syrah must taste like those Pinot Noirs Bucko just loves so much.
