Description
"A complex array of flint, smoke and gravel are ever present, accompanied by a ripe spectrum of yellow fruit, jasmine and lemon blossom. With bottle age, the wine also shows biscuit and honeyed evolution. Linear and focussed structure that builds and rounds on the back palate. Rich and generous texture from extended ageing on lees in barrel. An exciting wine with great energy and drive as well as years ahead in the cellar also. Drinks beautifully now." - Winemaker Notes
"The most complex of Marlborough sauvignons is looking the goods in this warmer vintage. There's a heady reductive layer that delivers flinty grapefruit notes and lemon pith. The palate texture is superb; starts on point and builds weight and layers of texture through the mid-palate with abundant gooseberry and lime flavor, then finishes pure, focused and true." - 96 Points, James Suckling
