It worth noting the change in closure for the Perdeblokke Sauvignon Blanc who is now back under natural cork, a decision by the new winemaking team, management and owners that needs to be applauded, as it is a wine style, that from my own floor experience shows better under natural cork, than screw cap, point in fact the worst Perdeblokke that I have ever bought, listed and served, was the 2007 vintage, it NEVER opened and never shows Sauvignon character or the single vineyard Perdeblokke site it was meant to express and that after opening more than 100 bottles.
I can confirmed the wine was suffocating of reductions and cabbagey character, that not even decanting prior to service helped!!
