Aged very well, great example of an Australian riesling, great colour but still very well rounded and youthful

Negociants Australia Portfolio Tasting: Mineral, pear and floral notes. A bit more in balance than the Watervale at this tasting, there is more substance to the fruit which helps to give the acidity a purpose, even when this young. Very good.

This thing is all Tahitian lime and slate. It is dry and direct in the mouth with good intensity and a talc like feel. Acidity is fresh and zippy and it has very good persistence.

Concentrated nose of blackcurrant, pencil shavings, and olive, with floral notes of violet and lavender. Palate shows concentrated flavour, even after a few hours in a decanter: blackcurrant and tarragon, with a hint of cinnamon. Sharp acidity goes some way to balancing the concentration of the fruit. Fine, faded tannin makes the wine feel light-bodied, despite its intensity.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from both Clare Valley and McLaren Vale, bringing together the cool climate savoury edge from the Clare and depth of fruit from McLaren.

Impenetrable red in colour, the nose has deep plum with cedar spices that are softly backed by mint.

The palate has wonderful balance of super concentrated plum and dark cherry, the fine, firm tannins and youthful acidity provide excellent structure to the quality fruit.

Diligent use of oak adds richness and class with the wine finishing with flashes of mint and tightly bound dark fruits.

Very good, very full bodied for a riesling (if that makes sense). Searing acidity, this has the structure to go the distance in the cellar. Citrus fruits and lots of it. Great length.

Mineral notes are subtle and beginning to show - I like a mineral/kerosene Riesling.
The lime flavours that are often associated with Clare Valley Rieslings was not present.
Developing a golden colour.
The Riesling aroma of an aged Riesling was strong, once the bottle had been opened it was very noticeable (in pleasant way) and as drinking (in Riedel O series Oaked Chardonnay glasses - all we had available), the aroma was across a wide space. The open space of the glass I think assisted the wine to open up. Though I have recently moved from Riedel to Zalto, I will try another bottle soon to see how it goes in the Zalto universal and white wine glasses to see how it compares.

Chunky crust. Deep red.
Sweet Shiraz fruit nose, with a nice vanillan oak lift.
This huge wine, reflective of 2012 and Clare, has now all come together to show almost lolly sweetness, though entirely from the aged fruit characters, which with breathing shows quite wonderful balance. I chuckled at my comment from 2017 that you could use it to push over old dead trees. Perhaps you need to visit the Clare Valley or at least rural South Australia to appreciate that crazy observation. The power is now wrapped in velvet with a cherry on top. An absolute classic aged SA Shiraz from a good year. Not subtle and delicate. Not with the elegance of Eden Valley. A powerhouse with the corners worn off. It would be considered old fashioned today, but I’m a fan, alongside the best cool climate Aussie Shiraz and the best from the Northern Rhone. It cost me AUD19 in 2014… Hard to beat.

Big ripe powerful Shiraz. The Clare and McLaren Vale characters are still talking to each other over the fence. The wonderful 2012 ripe sweetness is evident. A huge year that will live a long time. 14.5 alc is evident. Not delicate. Use it to push over large dead trees...

Red brick tones in colour, earthy cherries and liquorice on the nose. Tart and drying astringency, cherry, cranberry, and tobacco leaf. Well structured and currently quite lean; may soften somewhat with age.

2/14/2014 - graemeg wrote: NR

2014 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Exhibitor's Tasting & Trophy Wines Lunch (Homebush & Four Seasons Hotel): [bronze medal] {screwcap} Rather closed nose. It eventually gave up some of the palate’s flavours which ran very much along the jammy, jubey, clichéd SA fruit lines. It tastes of black fruits, liquirice, and even a touch metallic, but still the inherent fruit sweetness comes through. Full-bodied, with medium powdery tannins, lots of mid-palate presence, and a warm, long finish, this is a fairly impressive package, with very little of the minty/menthol quality you often see in Clare reds. Be interesting to see in 10 years.

Still very youthful but less reticent than a couple of years ago. A nose of buttered lime rind and apple sauce with good height. Quite an astringent mouth (definitely needs food) of cider apples and grapefruit. Almost buttery finish of good length. Not terribly complex but all the flavors are big. I feel comfortable holding another 3 years or so before opening up the next one (although I'm happy to drink it now).

Golden in colour, toasty and viscous on the palate, with ripe fruit, light kero, some florals and sea spray. Good length, breadth and acidity. It’s in the latter phase of its development.

2013 Polish Hill River Riesling, O'Leary Walker

NB42 TASTING

Turning to golden yellow. Toasty, brown apple, white florals and lemon nose. Age development through to palate, but pithy lemon and bath salts drive this very long. It's half old and half young. Will be interesting to see where this goes. Better when it warmed up. Very good.

The nose was more promising than the palate, some stone fruits soft and mellow on the nose in the mouth a rather harsh as in old grapefruit nothing else, no real length, disappointing.
