Tantalus, Old Vines Riesling, Okanagan Valley

More or less the same as my last note - a bit more lime and kerosene - really intense palate and long long mineral laden finish, bone dry and mouth-watering. This is aging at a snail's pace - will likely go another 20 years or more. 35 year old vines. Screw cap.

Clear Pale lemon in colour. Clean med intensity nose. Tart apple, lemon, and some petrol. Dry, med + acidity, med body, low alcohol, med + intensity of Tart apple, lime, and minerality. Overall nicely balanced. Paired with chicken curry dish, and it was perfect. Curry helped enhance the fruit in the wine.

Pale yellow - nose is all citrus and minerals perhaps a faint hint of petrol - palate is tart apple and lemon zest, with a penetrating lemon finish that lasts close to a minute - at this point requires food to absorb the acidity - there is also a supporting mineral aspect that gives it spine and delineation, almost chalky - but it also feels fully ripe - I think that this might flesh out and re-focus over the next …

Very pale colour. Lovely sweet crude petrol gravely peach nose. (Take no prisoners) searing lime nectarine, minerally long lasting finish. This is a bone-dry Eden Valley oz style Riesling with many years ahead of it. Bravo

Very light, almost green color. Amazing acidity, was probably the most memorable thing about the wine. It reminded me of an Austrian riesling - very stony / flinty and bone dry, but lacking the fruit and deliciousness that I find in German rieslings. If this is your style, then you'd probably rate this 1-3 points higher. It's very well made and was a pleasure to drink with dinner.

Light, very pale straw color (a touch of hay green), rich nose, a balance of crisp fruit (apricot), creaminess (pear), and a nice streak of minerality. We had never tried this wine and all three of us loved it. Both light and gripping, strong and balanced. A hint of sweetness made me think of Alsace Pinot Gris. We enjoyed it so fast we never got to try it with food, where I imagine it would shine. My first contact with …

Drier than a prior bottle I tried. Also much tarter than I remember. Not sure if I would buy this vintage again.
