Strong kerosene and lime juice nose along with some white florals. Acid still quite steely but there's some body to the wine. Looking in good condition but not striking me as really complex today.

A little reductive smoke on opening followed by sweet lime and lanolin. Still quite fresh, hasn't developed to Bickfords lime cordial yet but it's on the journey with some weight and texture developing in balance to the taut acid. A lovely wine but the price for current vintages of this wine have gotten excessive. There's very good Clare Valley Riesling for about a third of what Grosset Polish Hill now costs so I'm happy to score the wine well but the QPR is poor and I couldn't recommend buying it.

Lots of reduction which eventually blows off. Classic smoky lime flavours. Pithy texture. Last glass really started to show its class. Shame it’s last of the case. As ever, could go on forever. Indestructible wine.

Similar kerosene/petrol notes on the nose. This was a tad rounder than the Springvale. Less "electricity"...

Lime, green apple, incredibly long. Would never have guessed this was 14 years old
