18 months on from my last note I grabbed a final case of these for a ~US$12
This has evolved somewhat in that time: still the big classic NZ SB hit on the nose, on the palate there's more bite than previously, somewhat less rich tropical fruit, and a tarter finish that stays just on the right side of bitter.
This is still a very good wine, but not quite at the level it was 18 months ago.

Nectarine, passion fruit and grapefruit. Rich and ripe mid-palate. Finishes with good length. Well balanced. A very good QPR. Served with grilled chicken and a lemon, chive pan sauce.

Nectarine, grapefruit, tropical fruit and cut grass. Soft and round with a long, dry finish. Well balanced. A solid NZ SB and good QPR. Served with spiced citrus chicken.

starts with aromas of grapefruit, lemon, peach.
Smooth flavors with melon lemon, grapefruit, mango, and peach. Good acidity. Not herbaceous.
