This bottle surprised me. It was far fresher and crisper than my previous bottles. A wonderful nose to start it off and everything you want from a Marlborough SB. I hope the remaining bottles are consistent with this.

(home tasting) Beautiful golden-green color, nice fruity and slightly citric nose (lime maybe grapefruit) with lots of white flowers in the back. Semi sweet feeling (due to 14% vol probably), crispy, a great deal of acidity that ends in a rather short fruity (melon) aftertaste. It is a lovely wine, but one needs to be very careful with the serving temperature. I have to say though, that I prefer the "Sauvignon Blanc Reserve Wairau Valley" label better from this producer.

The best bottle from the crate - crisp clear fragrant beautiful - I wish I had held on to these a little longer

Straightforward aromas and flavors of grass and lime, with a good beam of acidity to keep it fresh. Good mouthfeel and finish as well.
