2017 vintage
94/100 – 5 stars, Sam Kim
Beautifuly refined and elegant, this is a stylish rendition of the variety showing white flesh stone fruit, rockmelon and lemon/lime peel characters with subtle oatmeal complexity. The palate is concentrated and wonderfully weighted, displaying excellent focus and linear mouthfeel, brilliantly structured by vibrant acidity.
94/100 | James Suckling – 2019
This has an attractive, complex, barrel-fermented style with fruit that’s driven to a more pithy point on the grapefruit and lemon spectrum. The palate has attractive peach and lemon-curd flavors and grilled nuts to close. Nicely assembled, complex style here. Drink now.
2015 vintage
Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier – 2015
A engaging and captivating bouquet with aromas and textures of lees and ripe fruit – heirloom lemon and rose apple, some grapefruit and mango-like tropical fruits; herbaceous as well with a soft green herb layer. On the palate – fruity, crisp, dry and loaded with texture – almost mealy with some sulphide action, ripe acidity and citrus led fruit flavours; herbaceous as well. A lovely example of modern SB from Marlborough. Drink now and through 2025.
