Was a bit worried about this bottle as the corks on this wine seem variable. The cork wasn't in the greatest shape, but came out in one go. The wine was fantastic - clean, lovely length and so well balanced. You would have never picked it as a 1998 wine. One of the best aged rieslings I've had for a while. Still think this would have a few years in it, but sadly was my last bottle.

Same as last note. low shoulder, some cork seepage. Thought it was going to be gone but was drinking very well. Lovely colour, kerosene nose, plenty of acid left and fruit. Beautiful wine, but corks are terrible. If you have any drink it up now.

low shoulder, cork seepage. Assume wine gone, but surprisingly vibrant. lovely colour, great nose, still some acid on the front. Nice kero nose - great aged aussie riesling. Past its prime, but still great drinking

In between phase. Hints of kero but otherwise sublte lemon and acid. Unremarkable in some respects but lots of potential.
