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 />
