Taut and linear. Attractive kerosene nose starting to show. Very nice.

Drank at home. Screw-cap. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, very pale intensity, lemon colour. Thin legs. Nose medium+ intensity, with hint of petroleum, white flowers, slate and stones minerality. Developing. On the palate, bone dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), medium body. Medium+ flaour intensity, with flavours of sine-tingling electric lime, sour citrus lemon, green pear, licking slate and stones minerality, salinity. Piercing medium+ finish. Gets sweeter with more air and when colder. Very good quality. Still so …

Now this is interesting. An initial hit of lime cordial on the nose before melding into some nice toasty notes with a touch of riper white fruits. Nice balance between freshness, age and ripeness. On the palate lime cordial is the initial impression lifted on a wave of acidify. But then as the wine washes over the rest of the mouth it broadens and deepens with a textual plumpness, lanolin and wet wool, toasty creaminess spiked with lime. Riper white …

Fresh scent of jasmine, green tea, pistachio, pear, citrusy lime & a lemongrass tail. This Riesling is like a Sauvignon blanc, with biting acid ending; easy pairing with food. 9 years old, nicely aged and drinking pleasingly well.

Riesling Refresher 2015 : Floral, lime, spice and peaches. Good precision, with the fruit in the background but nicely poised and making sure the wine isn't all acid. Good length. Will develop well.

An absolute pleasure. Salinity and a bit of citrus on the nose. Fine acidity, making this beauty work well on its own or with food.

Australian Wine Unearthed Public Tasting (Sydney, Australia) : Toast, floral, lemon and peach. Good acidity, very clean and precise with good length as well.

Icons of Clare Valley : Extremely kero nose. Dry mineral mouthwash of wet pebbles, cold stones and white stonefruits with chalky finish.

Pale yellow with some nice green tinges. lovely complex citrus , lime and honey with a touch of petrol which provided extra complexity. Mid weight palate with good richness but kept fresh by the clean acid finish. Drinking beautifully and see no point in keeping much longer though could easily go another decade. Screwcapped thankfully.
