  Whoa. All the petrol / burned tires / wax, none of the fruit. Interesting and not a bad food pairing but could have used something else

  Amazing aged Riesling at 15yo. No need to rush. Will try again at 20.

  Screwcap, 12.5% alc. Pale gold.
  
  Lovely, expressive nose of lemon, lime, and bath salts.
  
  Chalky texture and flavour reminiscent of effervescent orange candy or chewable vitamin C tablets. Ascorbic acid? Bracing acidity. Medium bodied, fanning out on the palate. Solid length.
  
  Opinion: That vitamin C tablet flavour is rather off-putting, however it seems to clear up after some time open. Watch with caution.

  Outstanding - it’s turned a beautiful golden colour, has matured but still maintains vibrant fruit notes.

  Nice golden colour. Slight whiff of kero on opening but this disappeared quickly. Lemon preserves with some talc on the back finish. Lovely wine.
