expertwine.com. 2002 The Berrio Sauvignon Blanc Elim, South Africa (£9.99, Oddbins). I opened this bottle for forty tasters the other day, and the room fell silent immediately as everyone was hypnotised with the epic nose and flavour of this wine. There are very few sauvignon blancs in the world as captivating as this glacially cool wine. It is the epitome of class and elegance, with long, controlled sauvignon flavours and a mellow, mildly tropical nose.
...and it also makes my new book The Wine List 2004, as one of the top 250 wines on the shelves in the UK.
