Nautilus Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2010. 13.5% alcohol

N: Unmistakable Marlborough savvy and unmistakable Nautilus style: punchy, fruity, varietal, comes at you like a bolt of lightning from a late summer afternoon shower: stone fruits and waves of tropical fruits, gentle herbaceousness,  steely and bold.

P: Knocking on the door of dry with a light sweet note at the tip of the tongue. The acidity and bold Marlborough savviness kicks in soon after with plenty of fruits, fresh herbs and flavour with a juicy fruit aftertaste. Youthful and in balance, very well made. (4^½ stars).
