  November 27, 2021 - Mid golden-bronze in colour; the nose shows gooseberry, granadilla and some tropical fruits.
  Pronounced in that classic NZ vein, the wine is bright despite having some years on it. The wine seems a little 1-dimensional but is tidy with a brisk, almost razor-sharp acidity, power and a herbal - honey note on the back palate. Edgy textured towards the medium-long finish.

  March 27, 2018 - Really enjoyed this wine. Drank informally with friends and paired with Camembert cheese. Hint of jalapeno, green grapes, grapefruit. Delicious and unique New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc!

  January 2, 2018 - 2018 New Year Holiday in Marlborough / Nelson; 12/31/2017-1/5/2018 (Blenheim / Nelson): Yellow, amber hue. Amazing 12-year-old Marlborough SB! Fresh acidity, lemon, tropical, with some honeysuckle and minerals. different characters from its youth, not too long, but unbelievable solid structure!

  November 25, 2017 - Enjoyable, but not quite sure 12 years ageing has any added value for this (or any) Marlborough SB. Hint of asparagus, mainly dried fruit (lemon, grapefruit), hay and a spicy note. Would be better if some of the fruity exuberance of youth were still apparent.
