  Subtle nose of saffron, honeysuckle, nougat, mushroom, bruised apple and a top note of mint. Nice and sweet on the palate, acid receding with a rich mouthfeel, but still pleasantly light, not syrupy. A long, brine honeycomb filled finish. Pretty delicious and well balanced but expected a bit more nuance in the aromatics at this age. I’d drink this now before the acid disappears

  Ripe and rich riesling aromas with apricot and peaches. Elegant and seductive in the mouth. A lovely Auslese.

  Light golden in colour. Honey, oranges (botrytis), brown sugar and tropical fruits on the nice nose. More of the same on the smooth, slightly oily palate and a long finish. All the fruits are starting to integrate nicely now. Off dry to sweet in style. Very nice (A-)

  NobleRottersSydney - Christmas Lunch 2018 (Noum, Surry Hills, Syndey): {AP 12 03, cork, 7.5%} [Graeme] Level was a bit down, cork looked a bit soggy. Smelt of brown leaves and nuts. There’s a memory of residual sweetness on the palate, but it’s dominated by a stale oxidative quality. A shame, as there’s a sense of greatness here. I think recent vintages are under screwcap, thankfully.

  Apricot, ginger in a complex nose. Sweet just shy of cloying, ginger, orange marmalade, decent acid, telltale Riesling petrol. Young feeling but fully ready. I guess has another decade and the sweetness still limits use to certain foods or as an aperitif.
