  Citrus (grapefruit and lemon) stone fruit and some floral notes. Medium plus to pronounced acidity. Medium plus and elegant finish. Looks like another year or two in the bottle have helped it become more integrated. It should last another year or so. Good by itself or with food.

  Lip-stick on a pig. You can dress this wine up as single vineyard and stick a £14 tag on it, but it is still green, grassy, simple and acidic NZ sauvignon blanc of the most stomach burning nature. Poor. Do yourself a favour and buy a decent Pouilly Fume for 30% of the price providing 400% more pleasure.

  Very simple...no depth nor complexity. Pale, almost water-like. Crisp grassy........Continue to like Merry Edwards style much better....Even Kim Crawford is more interesting.

  Too one dimensional. No secondary flavors. Just in your face grass and grapefruit.
