  Little to add to my note of a year ago. Has perhaps softened a little but it still lovely. Great to see how an NZ SB can age 6 years without any issues.

  Expressive and refined nose with white blossom, a citrus twist, gooseberry, just-ripe passionfruit, wet rocks and a whiff of struck match. Zippy acidity on the crisp, light to medium bodied palate with lovely texture and a long finish. Drink over the next few years. All the elements of a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc but in a more elegant, well mannered style.
  
  WSET notes:
  
  Pale lemon.
  
  Pronounced on the nose with blossom, lemon, grapefruit, green apple, gooseberry, asparagus, passionfruit, hay, flint, wet stones, and struck match. Developing.
  
  Pronounced and dry on the palate. Medium minus body, high acidity, medium alcohol, long finish.
  
  Can drink now but has potential for aging.

  This has aged intriguingly and for the better in the past 2 years. The acidity has subdued giving more prominence to grassy, mineral notes and burnt match. The tropical fruit appears at the fore towards with bitter lime into passion fruit. Still very clean and pure, just less of a frontal attack on the senses.

  Tangy citrus fruit - grapefruit and lime, tropical fruit, wet stones, but classic grassy edge too. Racy acidity alongside a creamy richness. Sits between Sancerre and Marlborough in style. So much more interesting than the standard NZ Sauvignon Blanc.
