Excellent stuff. Very dry with searing lemons, limes and crushed rocks offset by a creamy texture and some tropical guava and hint of nut on the lingering finish. This will be too dry for some, but this is one of the best examples of truly dry Aussie rieslng I've had. 91-92. Will see what night 2 brings.

90+. Really good wine. Lots of petrol and citrus at first and better when you let it warm in the glass and have more air. A second wave of more tropical guava and coconut hit in a very subtle way. Excellent and almost elegant and subtle.

Yanked out of the fridge and was too cold. Not showing too much upon open at the cold temp. As it started to warm, many of the subtle flavors of lime, petrol, guava, melon, and mineral framed by a nice acidity. Best on day and served slightly chilled. Very good, a bit subtle, but lots of subtle things going on from the attack to finish. 91 at peak drinking day 2, lower Day 1. Awesome QPR.

Just excellent stuff. Real solid lemon and lime on the attack with nice acidity and good texture that transitions over to a little bit of minerality and guava on the mid palate and finish. Interesting and balanced and just better than most whites. Dry. Great nights 1 and 2, oxidized by Night 3. Drink in next 2-3 years.

Nice effort. Very interesting wine. Dry riesling that is blend of clare and eden valley fruit. lots of petrol and rubber upfront, leading into interesting fruit notes of understated tropical and guava with really nice texture and acidity. Definitely interesting and well made. Sophisticated, but certtainly not for everyone. This one is dry and dry riesling is not for all. 90+. Needs food, this isn't a hedonistic standalone.

91-92. Excellent. Painfully intense almost, but still a great blend of steeliness and citrus with ahint of tropical.

Excellent again, but slightly more steely citrus and dry. Didn't have the interesting troPical note on the finish. Still excellent 90-91.

Nicely made wine. Great QPR at $10 and somewhat sophisticated. Several years left likely as well.
