July 8, 2015 - Tasted on song this evening. All the correct flavours, less exotic perhaps than previous tasting note but might be because it was served colder. Lovely minerality and length. Really good stuff

February 26, 2015 - Now this is my kinda Marlborough sauvignon blanc ! great aromas of tropical fruits and grapefruit this really packs a punch in flavour too. Rich and intense fruit, like drinking an exotic fruit salad and with that very desirable Blackcurrant leaf note. Vibrant acidity and great texture with a lovely long finish. This is definitely one the nicest examples from the 2012 vintage that I've enjoyed: Up there with Villa Maria Taylors Pass
