  Enjoyed with Crawford River Reserve 06. Developed mid gold colour. Similar nose, petrol, kero, pine sap, limes and slate. Same 13% abv, but still mineral and with full body. With some air it’s slightly lactic, maybe rain at the vintage? Don’t keep based on this bottle. 17.5+

  Sealed under screwcap this thing is as fresh as a daisy. There's a hint of toasty development and a core of pure, sweet lime. It is rich and detailed and has a slatey/mineral feel.

  Holding very well for its age. On the nose it has intense aromas of burnt rubber and petrol with citrus fruit on the background. I would say very typical high quality Australian Riesling. Palate was very well poised with good acidity and more fruit than on the nose. Very good especially if you like the style.

  Celebrating Yiannis Karakassis' Master of Wine Entitlement (Food Mafia Restaurant, Glyfada, Greece): Immediately recognized as an aged aussie riesling. Petrol, beeswax, honey and citrus fruit. Medium-bodied, evolved with balancing acidity and a med-long aftertaste.

  Riesling Refresher 2015: Quite shy on the nose - some orange and floral notes. Acidity sticks out a bit on the palate, this bottle seemed to be out of balance. A shame as the bottle I tried in 2012 was very nice.
