  Good kit this. I haven't had a castle rock riesling in years but this 5yr old proves (again) a couple of well known truths - Great Southern is perhaps Australia's most consistent region for premium wine in the $20 to $30 market, and Castle Rock remains in a leadership position for riesling in this region. Showing very well in middle age; quite juicy and fresh early but soon mellows with mild honey and just the faintest hint of kero coming through. Great balance, relatively soft structure for the varity, although a lick of acid persists on the finish. Should go another 3yrs without any problem.
