2024 Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

JS94 Very Sancerre-like with subtle lemon rind, light white pepper and green melon. The palate is refined and polished with hints of orange blossoms at the end. Pretty acidity. Sophisticated sauvignon. Drink now. Screw cap.
WA93 The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is ripe and concentrated on the nose, with persimmon and tangelo, lemon rind and green apple. In the mouth, the wine is possessed of an array of flavors, from salted nuts, almond meal, vanilla pod and caper brine right through to a cavalcade of citrus fruits and a suggestion of coriander/cilantro. This is eminently sophisticated, yet it delivers the Marlborough intensity and focus of acidity and fruit. It’s excellent. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
