  December 14, 2016 - Pesado, azucarado y cansino de beber.
  
  Petroleo, limón confitado, rosas, muy aromatico. Boca cansina como ella sola. Para los amantes de los batidos.

  September 13, 2015 - Depth in this wine is impressive, the balance I can't say I've experienced among other NZ rieslings. Yes, petrol and citrus, sugar and acidity, it's there.

  April 25, 2015 - Robe jaune citron soutenue brillante, nez très aromatique sur notes pétrolées, pierre à fusil, bonbon anglais et agrumes (citron). Bouche ronde avec sucres résiduels, une douceur portée par l'acidité pour très belle fraîcheur en bouche : sapidité et longueur, j'aime beaucoup ! De grandes similitudes avec cuvées Riesling allemands de Moselle, la principale différence étant le dégré d'alcool 12°C contre 7/8°C pour les cuvées outre-Rhin. 90-92/100

  March 5, 2015 - The wine is clear and bright with a deep lemon colour.
  
  The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of botrytis (candied orange peel, nail varnish remover), bottle ageing (honey), stone fruit (peaches), citrus (lemon peel) and others (kerosene).
  
  The wine is medium-dry with a high refreshing acidity. It has a medium alcohol and a medium body. It has pronounced intensity flavours of botrytis (candied orange peel, nail varnish remover), bottle ageing (honey), stone fruit (peaches), citrus (lemon peel) and others (kerosene). The finish is long.
  
  It is an outstanding quality wine. It has concentrated flavours and a lingering finish. The finish is lingering, and it shows complexity provided by some botrytis and bottle ageing notes.
  
  Can drink now, but it has enough acidity and fruit concentration to develop more tertiary aromas over the next 5-8 years.
