2016 Pierro L.T.C. Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Margaret River
A$33.60
There’s been plenty of media attention paid to the quality and longevity of the Pierro L.T.C. in the last couple of years – with James Halliday, Peter Bourne & John Fordham adding their voices in support of its quality. The ‘sold out’ sign seems to go up earlier each year as well. The L.T.C. seems to defy expectation and, in 2016, there is a brightness and an immediacy that makes it appear overtly delicious. In other words, it’s less restrained than usual. There is that intensity and concentration of flavour, a touch of lemongrass, some zingy tropical fruit flavours, all balance, fleshy texture and a crisp, zingy, ultra-dry finish that lingers. Some may find this irresistible – and who can blame them. We think it’s worth saying that the 2016 L.T.C. will age as gracefully as previous vintages

PIERRO L.T.C. 2016 There’s been plenty of media attention paid to the quality and longevity of the PIERRO L.T.C. in the last couple of years – with James Halliday, Peter Bourne & John Fordham adding their voices in support of its quality. The ‘sold out’ sign seems to go up earlier each year as well. The L.T.C. seems to defy expectations and the low yielding vintage conditions in 2016 have produced a very similar wine to the 2015 with that intensity and concentration typical of good vintages. Lemon rind & zest combined with tropical fruit flavours all in balance with smooth texture and a long dry finish. We think it’s worth saying that the 2016 L.T.C. will age as gracefully as previous vintages.
