Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 11, 2011 - Double splash decanted. Bottle breathed for 2 hours. Drank over 1.5 hours.

Nose: Vey big explosive nose. Tropical fruits, guavas and classic NZ SB notes. A bit of grassiness on the tail end and hints of green bell peppers. A nice blend of fruitiness and herbaceousness.

Taste: Big flavours on the palate as well but kept quite well in check. Sufficient acid but not as high as some super acid NZ SBs I've had before. Opulent citrus notes, green apples, tropical fruits and crushed rocks. Perhaps the white equivalent of a fruit bomb? But very delicious and enjoyable but for the same amount of money, I'd get a nice Pouilly Fume.
