October 25, 2014 - Held up well, with bone dry and perhaps excessively mineral profile. Not a favorite at our Aus. riesling tasting.

July 9, 2014 - Aroma of citrus fruit mainly lemon. Dry and balanced. Full bodied with good structure and fruit. This is not a sweet Riesling but a good one for food. Goes very well with white meet/chicken and a herbal sauce.

David_T Does not like this wine:
April 14, 2013 - Similar to previous notes with strong petrol & a bit of green apple. Perhaps a bit oxidized. Drink up now.

October 22, 2012 - No fruit in the nose. Rough, heavy, acidic. Obviously not my favorite Riesling.
