Vidal Reserve Marlborough<br />
Sauvignon Blanc 20<strong>18</strong><br />
Simon Nash: Slate, metal, stick<br />
character through to lemon. Quite<br />
racey on the palate. Wetstone. Dry.<br />
Matt Kirby: Saturating aromatic of ripe<br />
passionfruit, mango and lychee. Nice<br />
moreish acidity. Balance is good.<br />
Barry Riwai: Thiol, green Kiwifruit,<br />
curranty, leafy note that is very<br />
attractive. Great drive on the palate.<br />
Brambles, tropical. Lithe feel.<br />

Marlborough<br />
Sauvignon Blanc 20<strong>18</strong><br />
Simon Nash: Nice, fragrant nose.<br />
Complexing aromatic. Dry, quite<br />
mineral. Complex. Will open out.<br />
Good. Powerful. Linear.<br />
Matt Kirby: Salty, or maybe earlier<br />
pick. Pretty citrus blossom aromatic.<br />
Nice acidity. Not too intense.<br />
Barry Riwai: Currant leaf, hints of box<br />
hedge. Clean palate with drive and good<br />
focus of acidity. Lemon flavours on the<br />
finish.<br />
