Idiosyncratic, quite forward without the pungency of a Marlborough Sauvignon. Intense aromas of lemon, lemon peel, grapefruit, orange peel, fennel, passion fruit, guava, flint and struck match.
Good now but not a keeper.

Fruity to the point I wondered if there was a little RS? But balanced by fresh grass and great acidity.

Disappointed by this. It's def better once it's had time to breathe and not too cold. It's quite heavily citrusy and almost clinically clean. I wouldn't buy again.

Very unique nose... I'm not getting the "abundance of tropical fruit characters", but more of a perfume or petrol. A very round body (aged on its lees for 3 months) but a nice tartness and a lingering acid tingle. Not bad.
