  Вычурный, крайне минеральный рислинг в стиле "шиномонтаж накануне первых заморозков". Аромат предельно минеральный - керосин, гудрон, резина (автомобильные покрышки). Тело субтильное, крайне кислотное, но странным образом уравновешеное ароматом. Послевкусие длительное, терпкое, минеральное.
  
  Удивительное вино, состоящее из невозможных компонентов, которые каким-то чудом образуют гармонию. Фокус-покус на грани чуда. Очень впечатляюще!
  
  17/20

  Not seeing the petrol fuss on this. Softer, less aggressive than many Aussie Rieslings, good creamy citrus and purity, medium acid, lacks distinction. Screams 88 points. At £11, pass.

  very heavy on the petrol and minerality. A bit too much for me. Kinda like drinking gasoline-coated rocks with fruit essence. well put together, though.

  Very light yellow colour, tropical noise, pineapple, lemon, tons of fruits on the palate, lime, citrusy, high acid, mineral, taste a bit old world, elegant. long finish. Not bad but like some of the Australian wine, it gives you a headache as well.

  If you ever want to demonstrate to someone what a kerosene smell in a Riesling is all about this wine is for you. Smells like adding lime and white peaches to a quart of of kerosene. Aroma didn't fade. Not a bad wine, and the kero is not an unattractive aroma, but it was a little strong here. Nice tartness and a good finish length.
