Last bottle, clean nose (none of the Dog Point struck match "stink"), an interesting dry, minerally, flinty sauv blanc. Feels like 5 or 6 years is the best age for this wine.

Feels at its peak - most of the struck match notes have softened (still some, but more in balance). Bone dry, some lemon and a hint of grass. A sauv blanc for burgundy lovers?

An excellent example of how New Zealand rightly made Sauvignon Blanc that was as good as the Loire Valley in France. Very lively citric acidity with lemon lime flavors, a very dry texture, and 13% alcohol. Superb with fish.

Still fresh. Grass, greengage and elderflower. Plenty acidity. Less rich perhaps but still quite elegant. The touch of reduction has gone. A very good SB.
