pale yellow green, clean and fresh, mild green grass, goose berry and tropical fruits. friendly tart, well balanced in mouth. slight spicy and mineral finish.
Most Marlborough S.B. like to aggressively express the Marlborough trademark flavour (cut grass, green pepper), but this one is soft touching, with delicate texture. no surprise it won Gold medal even in Bordeaux, it shows potential how an entry-level Marlborough S.B could be elegant. (WS 89)
just checked my previous note, I believe half year aging makes it suppler.
