  petrol and kero development, yet clean classy acidity and structure. Deep brilliant yellow (camel pee), talc and dried flowers, dusty. Beautiful development, yet fresh, and clean, and linear. Slatey, sweet calamansi, unctious and clean. Cuts right through the Zion Road Char Kway Teow (spicy + cockles), excellent drinking right now, but alongside the 2000 polish hill, this is certainly more approachable. Spritz, honeysuckle and hint beeswax. What a beautiful wine, drinking excellently right now.

  Lovely nose - lime and chalk with the slightest hint of petrol. The palate has a round, almost oily texture - still lots of zingy acidity and a touch of something tropical right at the end. This is in a lovely place. Just what I’d want from Clare Riesling.

  No signs of age, slightly bracing acidity, needed food or a hot summer day. Loads of lime and mineral water.

  Going strong, but very drinkable now after half an hour in the glass.

  Drinking well, probably about ready. Classic mix of limes and slate. Very refreshing, very mineral.
