Restrained nose, citrus notes with just a hint of passion fruit. Bone dry on the palate with high acid making it razor sharp and very fresh, with clear mineral notes, a little grapefruit bitter at the end and overall restrained and less ripe/tropical fruit than a typical NZ SB. Perhaps this bottle was a bit too old and had lost some its fruit; it could have done with a bit more.
