Pale straw Light lime nose Racy acidity, rather dry, hint of petrol Very pleasant.

Jerry & Darren's Riesling and Nebbiolo Do (The Drapers Arms) : Lean but not austere, so it came across as light on its feet. A nice combination of zesty and exotic fruit. Tasty!

Not the most tense Riesling but harmonious and pretty. More folky than edgy. A warm, delightful wine without being fruit focused or high in alcohol.

Tartrate buildup on cork. Straw gold. Warm floral bouquet with a subtle reductive note. Guava, apple skins and something nutty on the palate. Acidity good but not sure about ageing potential - definitely in a good place now.

The only note I made was, "buy again". It appears another CT use didn't think the same and has dished out a very low rating - maybe there was a fault with their bottle? It's top class.
