Mission Estate Marlborough<br />
Sauvignon Blanc 2017<br />
Simon Nash: Pale, almost spearmint.<br />
Dilute on palate. Good ripeness and<br />
weight. A balanced wine.<br />
Matt Kirby: Tropical notes. Nice<br />
development. Very good tension on<br />
palate. Lovely.<br />
Barry Riwai: Snowpea, green grass<br />
and raciness. Bright, herbal tones. Old<br />
school. Medium weight. Spearmint.<br />
Graham Beck<br />
The Game Reserve<br />
Sauvignon Blanc 2015<br />
Simon Nash: Quite mineral, almost<br />
smoky nose. Sound on the palate.<br />
Lemon, wet stone, seashell, mineral<br />
finish. Quite powerful.<br />
Matt Kirby: Ash and smoky notes. Nice<br />
umami recipe. Barrel fermented? Some<br />
secondary mealy notes. Nice.<br />
Barry Riwai: Alfalfa sprouts, moves<br />
through to an iodine seaweed note.<br />
Islay. Canned asparagus. Non-<br />
Marlborough.<br />
