  Almost like two wines in one. Good typical Marlborough grassy SB nose. That carried forward into the palate. On first taste good citrus and melon with strong grassiness. All good. Then the finish was almost viscous and strong with honey. I found this a bit off putting. I prefer my SBs to be crisper. It was quite pleasant though and paired with a spicy dish (Indian dish perhaps) the softer sweet honey finish may be great. I only had one bottle left so cannot test.

  (Utility Industry Achievement Awards 2012, Grosvenor House Hotel, London) Two bottles bought to supplement grossly marked-up and gross table wines. These marked up a mere 430% on standard tenner retail compared to 600% on others.
  
  Properly cooled in vast ice bucket, these went in double quick time - all melon and passion fruit. Possibly the only safe choice on the GH's 'extended wine list' for functions as it turned out.

  Great grassy melony Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. If you like Kiwi SBs you cannot go wrong.

  Very good fruit; nice acidity. Really full on the mid-palate
