Still a lovely wine, with huge tropical and floral aromas and a nice balanced palate. The acidity has faded a bit, but there's still enough to hold up to food once it warms up a bit from fridge temp, and the flinty minerality is still going strong, along with a hint of sweetness.
Best served cool but not fridge-cold, to make the most of the remaining acidity and the lovely aromatics. If you're sitting on a stash of these, it's time to drink up!

Gooseberry, lime, underripe pineapple and grassy notes. Long, mouthwatering finish. Everything about this comps to a NZ SB, but there’s a faint wet stone note that sets it apart. Very enjoyable. 91 pts.

Still great. Consistent with my earlier note - maybe a little more nuanced with time.
