June 20, 2015 - Very mineral driven wine with a hint of raspberry to the fruit which is in the background to stones. Complex and lingering. Shaping up well.

May 8, 2015 - Classic SB nose with gooseberries and grass but not NZ, in your face style. Very dry and mineral yet also oily in texture. Citrus, pure and precise. A joy to drink. Still very youthful.
