Perfectly softened on nose and palate with red fruits on the nose. Palate is full of development with some primary red fruit still showing. Thought it might be past it, but not so

Outstanding. Deep, still a bit fruity, a lovely touch of salinity and slatiness in the background. In perfect condition. Excellent layered nose. Thick texture. Yum!

Super good. Still young on the nose, lemons, flowers, some mandarin. The palate has some development. Good acidity, great length. A decade left at least. Great wine

A touch slow on development, still has plenty of citrus notes to this and stating to get more orange scents. The palate is quite linear, the acid has started to soften and it coats the mouth in flavour. Very nice.

Complex nose of softened berries, leather, lessening oak and some spice. The palate is in perfect unison of fruit, oak, spice, chocolate. Tastes of liquid silk. As good as it gets

Could be the best smelling wine i’ve experienced. Incredibly complex but in perfect unison between oak, fruit, eucalyptus and chocolate. The palate is oaky but has grwat fruit complexity as well. Stunning wine.

The nose is great, full of lemon citrus notes with some nice floral aspects. The palate still has some zingy acidity to it to go with some lemony notes and a touch of cream. Mostly fruit forward, very straight forward wine. Not a lot of complexity but very pleasant to drink!

Really delicious at the moment. Perfectly softened with a subtle nose of blackberry and some vanilla. It has a dry mouthfeel with mulberry, some cherry and some spiced oak notes. Good length even though it finishes super dry, it keeps the flavour going.

Absolute cracker of a wine. The aroma is something else. Some fruit, some oak, some vanilla. Its elegant and mellow on the nose and the same on the palate. Lots of length with subtle flavour.

This is in wonderful condition. Aromas of developed citrus characters with a hint of apricot. No real kero aroma, just full blown fruit and flowers. Very aromatic. good colour development. The acid has softened to create a palate that is the perfect sipper. Lots of citrus on the palate. Great length. Riesling doesn't get a lot better than this. It still smells and tastes so young too, it has another decade in it.

Nose full of fresh lemon juice, a little bit of honey and some spring fields. The palate is total acid, with some good citrus flavours and good length. Plenty going on.

Plenty of development, a nose full of florals, oranges, blood orange and some apricot. Palate has nice freshness despite the development. Good flavours, a little light on acid, but overall a pleasant drink

Absolutely worth the wait leaving this to develop. Nose doesn't show too much development, still plenty of lime, verbena, some hand cream in the background as well as some mandarin oil. The palate is beautiful. Perfect amount of development which adds a nice depth of flavour still on the limey backbone. Good acid, good length. Delish!
