January 5, 2023 - lovely pale straw, developed kero nose. limey fruit supported by enough acid to carry it forward for a few more years. Very nice wine.

December 15, 2021 - pale yellow straw, developing citric nose. Surprisingly fresh on the front with plenty of acid and fruit for a nearly 10 yr old riesling. Lovely balance and long finish. This wine should develop more toasty notes with time. No rush. very nice wine

May 14, 2021 - Pale straw colour. limey nose. plenty of acid up front for a 9 yr old. lovely fruit that follows thru to a long finish. A very nice wine that could develop further given its lineage.

February 2, 2019 - The colour said it all in terms of freshness - still vibrant, light young and clear. The taste very much followed. Still very freshly acidic with lemons, apple and melon. The finish perhaps a little tart rather than smoother, longer, more developed. Presents as a young classical fresh dry Australian Riesling. Couldn’t help being impressed by the apparent longevity. Really nice wine.
