  Pours with a golden tinge. Lime and lemon on the nose, with a hint of lychee. Palate delivers the expected citrus fruit, with good mouthfeel. Lemon, lime and sherbet, held together with a tight acidic backbone.

  Great aged riesling. Toasty nose, with background limes. Good mouthfeel. Citrus palate beginning to develop a bready/toasty mid to back palate.

  Drank this wine with my family at Swa Garden Restaurant tonight.
  
  Dark golden yellow in colour. Wine has considerably aged in the bottle.
  
  On the nose there are notes of petroleum, elderflowers and grapefruit. On the palate the lack of balance in the body was quite obvious: the wine is deprived of the acidity to rein in the other flavours, resulting in some unpleasant notes of minerals and white fruits dominating the tastebud.
  
  Some oily notes in the finish. Overall, this wine feels a little tired and over the hill.

  It has a nose of Kerosene. Petroleum. Very dry wine. Not really open. Bit of kamquat. Olive blossoms. Lots of acidity. Could use some more years of aging. Had a lot of potential.

  Judgment of Singapore: Part 2 - Riesling and Cabernet (Ubin Seafood, Sin Ming Indistrial Estate): This was really enjoyable - half the table actually preferred it to the 2004 Trimbach Cuvee Frederic Emile that it followed. There was quite a bit of petroleum on the nose, along with some really attractive scents of honey and dried apricots, orange blossom and dried flowers and more citrussy limey, kumquaty notes shaded with hints of earth. A really nice, complex bouquet. The palate was rather less outwardly expressive than the nose. Its flavours were more mellow, gentler, with subtly mouthwatering acidity framing understated tones of green mangoes, grapefruit, and some lemon zest lined with a nice streak of minerality. It was deceptively light on the attack, partly perhaps because of its lovely balance, but it certainly had some depth as it unfolded across the midpalate and into a noticeably persistent finish seasoned with a touch of spice. A nice wine, quite about ready to drink I think, but still with some room to improve. Ranked group #5 out of 6 Rieslings.
