Under screw cap. I’d expected this to be dead as a door nail however it was surprisingly drinkable - amber coloured, a little sherries on the nose but still recognisable as a NZ Sauvignon on the palate. Enjoyable even if a curiosity.

Some currant character but also richer tropical-veering notes of oranges and bananas. Dairy notes, leafy lift and lime blossoms. Dry, full bodied and zesty palate with gooseberry to banana fruit and a bitter pomelo bite. Minerally from mid-palate on. Long finish. Hanging in there just fine. Nicely aged and balanced expression. Thumbs up!

I knew this would be past its be sty but it was surprisingly interesting. Still some acidity and a good nose - not oxidised. I would still say drink up if you have any left

Pronounced yellow, beginning to take on notes of asparagus, little acidity left. Well past its prime, but one of those that slipped into the depths of the cellar and was forgotten.

Ready. Little acidity in excess but works fine with food.
