Sauvignon Blanc Te Koko 2023

93
/100

Te Koko ist schon an der Nase dicht, reichhaltig und cremig. Weißer Pfirisich, saftig-süße Mango, Zitrus Aromen und Mandarine mit duftendem Brioche, Vanille und einer zart rauchigen Würze vom Ausbau im Barrique. Im Mund hat der ikonische Sauvignon Blanc eine feine Haptik, immer auf die dichte, gelbe Frucht hinauslaufend. Mit ordentlich Bums ist das kein einfacher Aperitif Sauvignon, sondern er hat die Kraft selbst kräftige Speisen zu begleiten.

Parker über: Sauvignon Blanc Te Koko

The 2023 Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is nutty and savory, laden with tobacco, sandalwood, cashews, Golden Delicious apples, salted melon and preserved citrus. In the mouth, the wine is creamy and silky, with intense acidity that balances the textured fruit. I happen to think that oak and Sauvignon Blanc make awkward bedfellows most of the time; their integration must feel seamless in order for it to work, and it works here. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.,

Suckling über: Sauvignon Blanc Te Koko

A well-rounded, flavorful and inspired sauvignon blanc with papayas, passion fruit sorbet and fresh herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Delicious lime character on the palate, with a succulent texture. Long, focused and savory finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Decanter über: Sauvignon Blanc Te Koko

We all know that Cloudy Bay created a New World classic back in 1985 when it introduced the world to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc under then-owner David Hohnen and his winemaker Kevin Judd. They never stopped innovating and debuted Te Koko, an oak-fermented and -aged Sauvignon Blanc in 2001, a classic in its own right. Now part of the French luxury powerhouse LVMH group, Cloudy Bay continues to refine its styles. Today, Te Koko is a study in subtlety and elegance. Anne Krebiehl MW: Smokiness, suppleness, bright, juicy fruit, a gentle smoothness and vivid lemon brightness. This is lovely and understated, gentle and elegant. Freddy Bulmer: Lovely and enticing nose, with sweet spices and great depth of aromatics. This spans spiced citrus through to tropical fruit, with a lovely toasty character that continues onto the palate, with succulence at the core and a bright, lifted character. Good structure and lovely mouthfeel. Finishes very well. Roger Jones: Seamless, pure, clean, fresh and focused with great salinity and citrus fruits that are balanced by minerality depth and texture. Lovely, lingering freshness. Uplifting and clean-cut.,

Galloni über: Sauvignon Blanc Te Koko

A succulent, barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 Te Koko is focused and firm with plenty of intensity through its core. It has become less aromatically overt with time, as subtle varietal green tones meet citrus and a slight oak savouriness. There's no creaminess or sense of competition between fruit and wood, and good tension lends a clean, direct finish. A little more time in bottle will see this relax and integrate further.
