  Complex, passion fruit (lots), grapefruit and smoke with acidity sticking out a bit at the backend and showing a bitter side that drags rating down. Quite liked it for a SB itch on a hot night, but in the barrel aged style for SB I prefer the Dog Point Section 94.

  This is not as reduced as the 2014, but the stinky sulphide aromas do get in the way of enjoyment, especially on the finish. The nose is less affected, but overall this is not suitable for consumption.

  Good nose. Nixe start in mouth but a touch fat and flat in the middle. More tropical than most Marlborough. Okay but not great.

  Ap: pale
  Ar: nettle, catpie, passion fruit, gooseberry. Very good intensity.
  Full bodied, acidity on the brink to bitterness. Dead/hollow mid part.
  Medium length
  
  50+4+12+8+5
  
  Starts as a NZ SB should, with great intensity, but falls apart in the mouth, with bitterness and hollowness.
