Lovely pungent and intense, citrus - orange blossom, lime and talc and mineral notes. Great fruit depth as well as a spiciness, lots of citrus, lovely depth as well as great length. Soft but fresh acid finish. Very impressive

SLDS April 2018 : White florals, lemon, apple and musk. Good fruit body, with a streak of acidity cutting through well. I think this will show some more interest if it gets some time to develop.

Canberra Mini Expo (Prince wine store) : slightly riper, peachier fruit than the classic. In the mouth, though, it's positively zesty with plentiful lime citrus to the fore. A touch of bitterness encroaches with time.

Canberra Tasting (PWS Sydney) : Chalk, lemon and apple. Good acid weight, there is good fruit purity as well here. Surely needs time, but should develop well.

I appreciated this bottle more than the previous bottles. The wine has real life and zing. I got green apples, pears and peaches. Quite strong acidity, but nicely in balance with the fruit. One striking element was the rich mouthfeel, which for me is unusual in a Riesling. I enjoyed it though.

Reasonable wine, just lacks any real zing. Perhaps needs more time.

Canberra Cellar Door Visits 2014 : Peach, pineapple, spice and musk aromas. Nice texture, medium length. Good acid, this feels classy but needs time to settle.
