Cloudy Bay 2009

Going against the grain here with many reviews online, as many think there is better value to be had.
Having glugged most of nz, i still rate this as one of the best.
The 2009 does lack taste, but it makes up for that in purity and finish. Whilst it does not have the clout, or fruit of many, it is simply beautiful stuff. A real mineral taste backed up by just enough fruit, it goes down very well. Almost unwine like. They are doing something different here.
A worthy 9/10. Not for everyone, but for me its the best NZ sauv blanc, with the nautilus a close second.
