August 1, 2021 - This wine has kept remarkably well. The slight acudty that was detectable 7 years ago has mellowed, leaving a clean, fresh , feuity and slightly sweet white with a long finish. Compares very favourably with other Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc's.

November 17, 2012 - Straight up, big NZ style. Good for cocktail hour and I put a splash in a risotto and it really brightened the dish.

October 16, 2012 - Mildly carbonated on the palate, monochromatic citrus, rather high acidity. Tastes like a cheap wine, which it basically is. Not awful, but not a good example of a NZ sauvignon blanc.
