Aromas of tropical fruit / grapefruit dominate the acidity, but well integrated wine. Lush, generous, tropical. (1672 views) | | | Tasted by MSheridan on 11/8/2014 & rated 91 points: drinking well. much better balance than 2013. (2251 views) | | | Tasted by vlzat on 6/4/2014 & rated 89 points: Medium body, pale golden yellow color, very aromatic, passionflower, melon and citrus aroma, citrus (mostly red grapefruit and ripe mandarins), melon and minerals on the palate, lemon on finish, long finish, very fresh and charm wine, balanced and complex, lovely acidity, food friendly. Well associated with clams or shrimps. Serve 8º - 12º. Drink now. (1614 views) | | | Tasted by MSheridan on 3/8/2014 & rated 92 points: Full of flavour
Blackcurrant, Passionfruit, pink grapefruit, jasmine
A very deep and rich MSB (2771 views) | | | Tasted by rmalloy on 1/11/2014 & rated 93 points: In my view, New Zealand sauvignon blanc is the only great wine style outside Europe. This is a stellar one. Powerful grapefruit, sweet lychee, vegetal notes, and minerals. The persistent finish makes it seem like you've just eaten a grapefruit. (2851 views) | | | Tasted by Korolev_mv on 9/21/2013 & rated 90 points: Хороший совиньон, в аромате экзотические фрукты с тонами свежескошенной травы и разумеется характерные щелочные минералы во вкусе. Сбалансированный новозеландский совиньон, ничего лишнего. Среди минусов, могу выделить отсутствие насыщенности и концентратности. Вино явно хотели выделить из легких, но оно задержалось где-то в промежутке, отсюда весьма посредственное короткое послевкусие. (1801 views) | | | Tasted by MSheridan on 8/14/2013 & rated 93 points: Excellent. As per previous tasting note, this is one of the best MSB I've tasted for some time. Usually VMCS is just pretty good but 2012 is a great vintage for this wine (1612 views) | | | Tasted by evanqian on 7/19/2013 & rated 87 points: light straw yellow with a little green. strong fresh grass, green pepper and gooseberry in nose. typical Marlborough S.B. flavour, clean. medium crispy dry finish with a little mineral hints.

My preference for it was beginning to slide but this has reignited my interest again
