Not as explosive on the nose as a NZ Sav ... pineapple and grapefruit, with a little bit of chive supporting on the nose. Thick mouthfeel, medium acidity, a touch herbaceous, citrus, not too much here. Meh. Decent value and decent balance for the price, but nothing exciting.

HUGE value at 50% off. even good at $11 reg price. Sharp citrus and some melon and some green apple with a nice (but short) finish.
