  Pale yellow with a hint of green. Elemental nose of steel, dust, minerals, and earth. Despite the lack of overtly fruity elements, this is quite enticing. The palate continues the metallic-tasting theme, with near-spritzy acid, mineral quartz notes, a light-medium body, and a mudium length finish. Attractive wine of some discretion and interest. Don't know about aging this.

  Lovely wine which could be aged for a considerable period. The problem is it is so lovely young. I brought this directly from Crawford River with a view to drinking it whilst laying down the "old" vines. We have now drunk 7 bottles in a few months and it is a favorite. Very floral with tropical fruits/lime juice, very slight residual sweetness.

  Amazing energy in the nose and palate. Very ripe and thick with lime. Fresh bubbly palate with truck loads of powerful lime. Can't believe it drinks so well young.
