  January 15, 2014 - {screwcap, 12%} at 3 years old, this is just terrible. Flat, boring on the palate; no evidence of any real structure, and indeed only a minimal impression of fruit, which has turned to the honeyed end of the spectrum. But not enough to really make an impact… Deadly, in my opinion; another good reason to drink Kiwi savvies as fast as possible (sitting outside, eating oysters. Your only chance…)

  June 3, 2013 - Fruity, sharp, slightly sweet. Has a tang to it, nice balance.

  May 10, 2013 - Exactly what you expect. Intense, refreshing on a hot day NZ sauv blanc. Grapefruit passion fruit flavors with grassy notes.

  April 19, 2013 - Nose is intense of grapefruit and cut grass. Concentrated flavours of grapefruit, grass and gooseberry. The grapefruit bit is more attractive that the previous gooseberry and cat pee. The intensity is still fatiguing.

  February 23, 2013 - Green straw appearance; grassy nose of citrus blossom, green apricots, passion fruit, and guava; aromas carry over to the palate where it picks up lots of lime and a splash of green tea. Dry, stony, and pleasant.
