  July 19, 2010 - Wine Education Service - Classic Grape - Riesling (LSE): A lot of sulphur here so the nose needed patience but this was rewarded with diesel notes and then some luscious fruity aromas of white peaches.
  Oily in the mouth, not a lot of fruit, maybe a bit of grapefruit, quite refreshing, at its peak.

  July 18, 2010 - A golden apple juice colour, the nose gives off a wooden pine resin aromas (this wine has clearly seen some time in barrels) with hints of lime. The oaky wood-chip palate almost overpowers and masks the unripe green fruit flavours, making the wine tart and bitter. This is probably my first experience of oaked Riesling; I cannot say that I am altogether convinced **

  June 12, 2010 - Lime fruit, plenty of minerality. Went well with Thai food whilst watching the USA equalise against England in the World Cup thanks to Rob Green's fumble; memorable occasion (for the wrong reasons), but not really a memorable wine.

  November 16, 2009 - Wines on Holiday (All South African, mainly MCC) (South Africa): Klein Contantia Rhine Riesling 07 R80, A little hard to place, lighter than Alsace, rounder than many trocken, a nice wine if a little simple, but very morish. XXX

  July 17, 2009 - Fairly classic youthful new world Riesling. Plenty of lime fruit, a hint of oily rag. Fresh, lively and racy acidity. Again, lots of lime fruit on the palate.
