Just as good as my prior bottle, but different. A little bit more lime and grassiness, but still wonderfully balanced. I will hold my last until warm weather hits, but definitely drink up this year.

The nose has muted quite a bit from my last bottle and the sweet citrus and melon fruit has subsided. Still a very nice SB with a little age on it, but recommend drinking any remaining bottles soon.

Down a few points from prior bottles, though still outstanding. Just a litte bit less intense, especially on the nose.
Watermelon, pineapple, lemon and lime, with just the barest trace of the grassiness I find so off-putting in most NZ SBs. Very smooth, long finish for the varietal.
