Nice example of New Zealand sauvignon blanc. Very fresh, with floral notes and relatively high acidity. I advise to drink it cold and preferrably in warm wheather. We drank it with white asparagus (👍), but also nice as apperitive. PS: I noticed that Parker (Wine Advocate) gave it only 84 points (🤔); very strange score as I drank many examples with a 90+ score of lesser quality.

Well matured wine. I bought a box (en primeur) in 2012 and just opened the first bottle. Combination of mainly Merlot and a small percentage of Cab Franc. Good fruit / berry, and dry aftertaste. We drank it with mixed grilled meat, which was great.

The last bottle had cork, although the previous one was fine.
