  Slight petroleum and talcum powder along with citrus and tropical aromas. Showing a golden colour. Lovely citrus and passionfruit flavours with great minerality. Residual sugars becoming more prominent but balanced with the acidity. Must be consumed with food with like flavours. I drank this with chicken marinated with finger limes and chilli, and it matched perfectly.

  Developing colour. Ripe, slightly sweet nose. Apple. Lime blossom. Ripe, off-dry palate, some lanolin. Nice. Perhaps not developing as slowly as initially promised, or advertised in the glowing early reviews for this vintage. If you have a few I would try one now, but there is no great rush under screw cap.

  Just tasted the 2013 Best's Riesling and I am now resisting the 2011 Vintage
  
  Since I last tasted this in May 2015, the only change has been in the colour which is now pale gold with green hues
  Nose and palate are faultless a 20+ second silken finish , amazing
  Overall , no wonder this is one of the best Rieslings in Australia
  
  Tasting note from May 15
  Sensational intense bouquet of white blossom citrus Muted lemon/lime ,apple , fresh, tropical fruit passion fruit? No Kero aromas
  Colour of light straw / green hues , clear and bright
  Palate , wonderful mouthfeel excellent balance between fruit and acid fruit tingle palate with a hint of sweetness
  Overal one of my flavourite reislings

  Straw, or light gold. A strong kerosene nose, with lime juice there too. On the palate, wonderful acidity - tongue- tingling - and grapefruit and lime flavours. A great aperitif, with some crab. In its prime, I'd say. Screwcap, 11.5%.
