December 25, 2022 - This riesling is one of my all-time favourites, but I've never drank it this aged. All the good elements are still there but not much extra, and the acidity has already gone down bit too much for my liking. Consumed bottle 0.375.
I give 87 - in its prime it would be 2-3 points more.
I would drink up this vintage during 2023.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 14, 2021 - Pale lemon
Medium (+) nose of peach , petroleum , green apple, lemon, LIME, SLATE,
Dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, 12.5% medium body, pronounced intensity, long finish
Acid and fruit concentration is in harmony. The grapes flavors are focussed and typical in this wine with high concentration carried through to a long finish. Outstanding quality wine here.
Guesses:
Riesling owing to acidity and petroleum. I thought Australia as Lime was so prominent
Mistakes:
Not as bone dry as Aussie Riesling and the petroleum was not sufficiently pronounced for Australia
Suitable for bottle ageing as good acid and lots of fab fruit.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 17, 2021 - Distinct petrol on the nose, though milder on the palate. Nice acidity and enjoyed with Chinese food.

November 30, 2020 - Another lovely wine from Schlumberger. Very Riesling but without the exaggerated Petrol smell/taste. Good acidity, weight & length and at best now. All present and correct.
