Golden colour. Beautiful intense light citrus, light petrol nose. Makes you want to just sniff it all night. Smooth in the mouth, wonderfully intense fruit, no single flavour stands out, maybe a bit of toast and petrol. Amazing how these and Hunter Valley semillons start to approach each other in taste with age. Long finish. Probably another 5 years left under the Stelvin. Wish I had a case.

Bought this at auction at fraction of release price on a whim. Yellow-Green still at 12 years of age, amazing. Delicate nose of light honey, lanolin and ?thyme. Palate strikes with soft round gentle fruit with a hint of australian old riesling "kerosene". In amazing condition for its age thanks to the Stelvin cap. Persistent finish, a delight to drink. Still got 5 years left in it , easily. Thick dense fruit concentration with just a slight drop in acid giving it that soft touch feeling. More Clare than Eden or if I was to be specific it hits Clare at the front and Eden on the back palate. A perfect blend with lighter dishes such as seafood, antipasto. Irony is 99% of this wine produced has almost certainly been drunk!

Ultra dry. Fruit is fading and there isnt the complexity to kick it up a notch. probably on the downhill slide. drink up or give away.

Lambton Fridge - Clare Tasting (Mereweather Golf Club): Very approachable at this stage, wouldn't bother laying it down really. Lots of sweet, thick fruit. Drink up
