Rich and intense flavours , ripe tropical, citrus, a little green veges, capsicum. Mouth-watering acidity, m+ body, round and smooth texture, mild mineral notes and sweetness in finish. Very good on weight, complexity and balance, a classic Marlborough SB.

Bottled recently. With many months on yeast lees, this has fresh, lemony, stone fruit, citrus, herbs, and some yeasty/leesy characters, as well as earthy mineral aromas. On the medium-full bodied palate, it is rich, creamy and nicely textured with very nice citrusy, peach, and grapefruit flavours supported by juicy acids. Very good length on the finish. Needs another 1-2 years to really show itself. Score: 91+ pts
