Much better than two years ago. Classic aged Riesling nose. Great height, kerosene, lemons and lychees. Mouth of lemon meringue, guava with a hint of caramel apple. Good acid on a green apple skin finish. Thought this wouldn’t age so well - I was wrong- May still develop over next five years or so.

Redolent diesel, asphalt, motor oil, sea salt, and applesauce. Love it. The fruit is spread out in the mouth, and maybe getting a little tired. Age has done nice things to this wine; there is an elevation of complexity and secondary character. This should be consumed fairly soon though given the fruit.

straw color indicating its age; petrol and lime on nose. Most notable in this bottle was the licorice finish. Acid and fruit nicely balanced, but will tire in 12-18 months. Drink up

I like this; sightly muted nose opens up with petrol and slight citrus notes on swirling. Mid-length palate with good depth of flavors; as commented elsewhere, closer to Oz than anywhere else. acidity nicely balanced with greenish fruit. Tempted to rate it higher - will see after longer opening

Solid riesling drinking nicely. closer to Australian than Mosel or Alsace. touch of sweetness. good with spicy food.
