Our friends like to open it a while before serving, & it was served very cold but not fiercely effervescent. Emphasised the richness; this is quite big. Very nice.
With seared tuna sashimi. This was lovely, some remarkable Marlborough typicity in a pleasantly different package. Agree with Shrewsram's characterisation.

(Unsure which vintage we were served) Big and rich - stood up very well to the heavily-spiced lamb shawarma

No formal notes, but good, lighter & fresher than dessert wine alternatives. With cheese board.
