So!...LAST bottle from the cellar. On nose and Palate: consistent notes from my review one month ago. Bone dry, savoury , superb balance of smoke, fruit, citrus , acidity and the signature ghost of petrol...a lean wine, that manages to be full flavoured....will search out newer vintages...a first rate wine producer.

So...a new experience....Tasmanian Riesling. On nose: faint minerals and lime peel. On palate: the above flavours enhanced, with notes of damp earth and smoke, as well as sea salt.....a sleek linear , agelesss wine at 11 years of age , bracing acidity balances the other secondary flavours as it warms up , revealing notes of both lemon peel and tangerine , in addition to hints of fresh rosemary.....a superbly , bone dry , savoury wine: a cross between a Planeta Carricante from Sicily / Trimbach Alsace Riesling , entry level. Excellent wine for shellfish or fettucine Alfredo.....will still age well for a few years.

Nose is an interesting mix of lemon rind and petrol. The palate is also brilliant, with a petrol beginning that moves fairly quickly to lemon and lime before finishing back on mineral notes and tremendous acidity. Beautiful riesling!
Clear and bright, pale lemon-green colour with presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium+ intensity aromas of ripe lime, lemon peel, roses, honeysuckle and kerosene. It's dry in the mouth, with a high lively acidity, medium alcohol, medium- body and pronounced intensity flavours of lime, lemon peel, roses, honeysuckle and kerosene. The finish is long. It's a very good quality wine with a good balance between acidity and fruit concentration, a lingering finish and a decent degree of complexity, but it could be even more complex. Drink now, but it has enough acidity and fruit concentration to develop more complex aromas in the next 10+ years.

Pale straw color. Nose is full of riesling petrol notes, as it should be. The palate is a nice balance of citrus, flowers and petrol, with great acidity on the finish. Beautiful riesling for the next couple of years.

Light yellow in colour, the nose manages to meld intense cotris fruits with more aromatic peach blossom characters.
The palate is dry, savoury and mineral with green apple dominating and the finish having a chalky character that accentuates the wines length. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2012-2017)

Tasmania Wineries Jan-12 (2) - Tamar Valley; 1/15/2012-1/19/2012 (Tasmania): {screwcap, $A25} Citrus & lychee. Clean and youthful. Lime notes are more apparent on the chalkily-textured palate. It’s dry and assertive, with high acid, medium-body and a medium-long finish. Impressive wine which needs 5 years or so.

Taste of Tasmania 10/11 (Hobart): {screwcap, A$25} Subdued citrus aromas (served v cold). A powerful, linear, lime and citrus infused palate which drives the full length of the tongue, raging with acid, medium-bodied, and finishes bone dry and medium-long. A neck-snapper of a wine. Should civilise itself a bit in the shorter term. Could be great.
