Bought Majestic UK £10.99 promo price. Well chilled. Screw cap seal.
Grippy beyond-floury white tannins are first impression, then some ripe Marlborough Sav Blanc fruit, most of the usual suspects, but with lively acid that’s just a bit too lively. Maybe it just needs to settle? It’s barely 2 yrs old. It feels as though there’s enough power and intensity in here for it to eventually morph into a decent Marlborough SB, but those qualities don’t feel like it’ll morph into a great one.
QPR?…..£10.99 promo, feels worth that but no more. I’ll wait for the 2023, the VM Cellar Selection pretty much has a dependable rep’.

Aromatic, lime, grapefruit, and musky perfume nose. Solid, direct, and flavourful palate; good, long finish.
4/5
