  October 15, 2013 - - Greenish color and aromas of grapefruit. It's overly acidic and has flavours of grapefruit with a medium body. Juicy texture with a long finish.

  May 4, 2013 - Loads of grass, grapefruit and green vegetables on the nose. The grapefruit continued on the palate with eye-watering acidity but a reasonably full mouthfeel. The finish was steely with hints of kiwi. Pleasant drinking all-around, but when it warmed up a bit the boquet became almost rank - like smelly French cheese. Keep this one cold.

  February 25, 2013 - Clear, pale lemon-green colour with presence of legs. Clean nose in a developing stage, medium+ intensity with aromas of asparagus, peas, fresh grass, ripe citrus and hints of mango. Off-dry in the mouth, medium+ refreshing acidity, medium delicate alcohol, medium- body and medium+ intensity flavours of ripe passion fruit, asparagus, peas, ripe lime, mango, grass and white flowers. Medium+ finish. Good quality wine, can drink now but has potential for further ageing.

  January 30, 2013 - Another decent Marlborough. I almost write that as though I am getting bored with Marlborough- a possibility I suppose. This pours a pale yellow with a hint of green. The nose is lemon/lime/ mineral. There is decent acidity on the palate; green apple, citrus and passionfruit. Could be the last one that is throwing me off on the finish - nice crisp M style, but something that makes it not my favourite example from this region. Sort of stays with me - hangs on like an unwanted dinner guest. For the same price, there are other Marlborough wines I would buy over this one.

  January 22, 2013 - grassy, moderate plus acidity, medium body, citrus lime, not the best NZ Sav Blanc but a good buy.
