  still pale straw colour, remarkable for age, classic aged Riesling nose with distinct hints of kerosene, classy, nose distinctly improved with time in the glass, kerosene burns off and underlying fine fruit complexity comes through, palate absolutely bone dry with steely intensity, particularly on middle palate, absolutely true to style, wine just continued to get better with time open and in the glass, after 3 hours it was really great, previous bottles I may not have left long enough

  Buttercup yellow, slight spritz; intense nose, steely, straw & wet stone bouquet; a steeliness envelopes an inviting mid-palate; classical Eden Valley Riesling (with no petrol notes). Can be enjoyed now but will hold five years.

  Drunk on a social evening, no time for a detailed review but much appreciated as a top class Eden Valley Riesling, very clean, quite powerful but enjoyable also drunk alone without food

  Fine, steely, intense fruit nose with petrol hints, classic dry Riesling, palate mineraly, steely, with marked acidity balancing the concentrated fruit to make a very taut style, has real character, I really like the style, classic Eden Valley Riesling

  young fresh pale straw colour, delicate hint of petroleum on the nose, classic Riesling, classy, fine and elegant with restrained intensity, very good indeed, palate has stony, mineral intensity on the front and middle, good fruit but totally dry in character, perfect balance, a class act, now in its optimum drinking window but has a long potential life, only I am not likely to leave it that long, it is so good now
