  Trademark Marlborough SB: passion fruit, citrus, sweet finish. Very pleasurable, not for contemplation, but very good for a hot and humid night. At age 3, will last at least a couple more years in my view.

  A pleasant lunch wine but totally innocuous, not much there. Not a typical NZ SB, almost no citrus in the taste. Even at $11 it's not a buyer for us.

  Appearance: clear, pale lemon, with legs
  
  On nose : medium+ intensity, citrius: lime, grapefruit, stone fruit : very pleasant and dominant guava aroma, and a hint of mineral, the wine is developing.
  
  On palate : dry, high acidity, medium intensity flavour, all aroma on nose could be found on palate, especially the guava flavour, which is the back bone of this wine, also some bitterness cripsy and savoury flavour with medium finishing.
  
  This wine is an acceptable wine. Although this is a simple wine, I love the rich guava aroma feeling fresh and balance acidity since it keeps 3mg/L reducing sugar. This wine must be chilled before serving, best drunk in summer night with savoury snacks. Just pay for $HKD 100 which is very acceptable. Drink it now and no ageing ability of course!

  I also had this wine with my brother. This is was not as good as it tasted a lot more citrus than any of us really wanted. It's not a bad wine, but I don't consider it much special either.
