Was very closed when first opened and while the fruit was more expressive the following day it was still quite austere. I'll decant for an hour or two next time and see. 89+

Definitely dry, chalky minerality, zesty acidity, subtle fruit, lemon, guava, tobacco leaf, leesy ginger quality, some nutty notes. A lot more interest here than many Marlborough sauv's.

This is a cut above the usual NZ sauv blancs. It is grassy but also has some white peach and lime flavours, supported by a taut flinty backbone.

Eurocentric Trade Tasting; 8/17/2012-8/18/2012: Fresh and floral on the nose with some light cut grass. Quite good acidity and intensity on the palate.
