  July 23, 2014 - Riesling night. Pop and poured. Screw-cap bottle.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
  Nose is of medium+ intensity, with aromas of petroleum, toasty ?burnt match/rubber, pear and peaches. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, medium acidity, medium- alcohol, medium+ body. Medium+ flavor intensity, with flavours of petroleum, pear, peaches, lemon-lime, saline minerality, and slight chalk. Medium- finish.
  Acceptable quality. My thoughts are that the petroleum is a result of aging development in this Riesling, but the toasty burnt match/rubber smell is from excess sulphur compounds. Intriguingly, I notice that other CT users who have drank this wine at a younger age have not commented on this toasty burnt smell, so I could be wrong.
  Anyway, I feel that this wine should be drunk up soon. Unlikely to develop further with more age. Acidity is lacking here.

  February 18, 2012 - Nice drinking on a hot afternoon in singapore. A good example of the riesling category, bright strong flavors up-front. Agreed on previous review of lime and grapefruit.

  November 7, 2011 - Still very young tasting. Sharp, perhaps to a fault. Should settle down with air or age, neither of which I am providing. Moving the remaining bottles to the archive, not to be seen for a few years. Very long on taste with increasing aridity on the linger.
