  The wine is tasting a little flat and one dimensional to me at the moment, probably going through a dumb phase. The vibrancy of the fruit has faded a little, with the citrus flavours dominating the palate. The secondary complexity has only just started developing, but is yet to reach prominence. There is still a strongly underpinned minerality to the wine and nice crunchy acidity. Needs time.

  Close to outstanding and a textbook example of Australian Riesling, in a Calle style. Floral, stony, and ripe. This is forward and drinks very well, with the fruit opulence balancing the dryness of the wine.

  Very much in the style of a Clare Valley Riesling. Very dry, mineral, lime and a touch of honied body to the palate. This is drinking very well at the moment, but will age extremely well.

  Very typical Australian style - reminiscent of a Clare style. Excellent varietal integrity, good balance, steely intensity and a well-modulated finish. This is on the tight side, but will age very well over the mid term.

  Close to outstanding. Opens very tight, but with age, blossoms into a floral and suave Riesling with honey , metro and minerals. Very Australian in style and possesses beautiful equilibrium. Should age very well (under stelvin) for at least another 6 years..
