20 years old. Reportedly their inaugural vintage of Riesling. A blend of Locust Lane plus Rosumel vineyards. Faint aroma - pears, lemons, a touch of petrol. Surprisingly high acid!! (20 years old). Steely acids. Still very fresh, juicy. Not at all sweet. Lemon zest, Starfruit. A slight vegetal finish. This wine will be drinkable, and undoubtedly still delicious, for another 10 years. A nice surprise.

Petrol, oily on the nose with some mineral character. Sour green apple on the palate, medium in acid with some honeycombish and stonefruit notes. I had expected some more punch which was not there

Mineral, lemon/lime, beeswax, and Mac apple nose. Vibrant, highly acidic palate with a long, nervy finish. Still needs time for it to be tamed. 4/5

Aromas of petrol, straw, and honey with soft flavours of petroleum, passion fruit, lime, cream, and minerals. Had a nice crisp medium finish.

Mineral, petrol, wax, and yellow apple nose. Mostly dry, juicy, fresh, and focused palate; long, complex, spiced finish. Already more exciting than the last time tasted. 4.5/5

Tart, grapefruit citrus with nice minerality....pleasant citrus nose. Very light straw color. Relatively short finish, but explosive burst fruit at beginning.
