Bought Wine Direct co uk, approx £12.00 March 2016
Well chilled. Screw Cap.
Pale straw colour. Nose: not much at all. Weird, for a Marlborough Sav Blanc.
Taste: typical Marlb style Sav Blanc, but has a soft fruit richness to it, which I liked very much. Some wet river stone minerals, ripe white stone fruit like nectarine, no green edge. Good length, good powerful finish. Quality, will get better in cellar I should think. Defo buy again, tho I admit I prefer CR's Te Muna Rd Martinborough North Island savvy (the 2013 was stunning). Will keep a few until 2018.
VFM? Very good Sav Blanc at £12.00 is a good deal.

New to buying good wines and this sav blanc deserves a high score for the smoothness of feel on my palete. A huge step up from my usual drops.
