WSET III, part 2; 12/3/2011-12/4/2011 (Portland, ME): Clean, pronounced nose of petrol, wax, lemon, and peach; developing. Off-dry with medium acids. Medium-plus intensity palate of lemon-lime and peach. Medium-plus length. Good. Drink now, though can develop.

Had a bottle around the pool and it was disappointing to say the least. Agree with others this is not a typical Penfold's wine - they need to take this back to the drawing board. There are two many good Rieslings out there at the same price point.

Very pretty in the glass. And that's about it. Wow, this stuff was bad. Actually poured most of it out. Odor of cat urine. Tasted of pure aluminum/metallic hell. Extremely disappointed as I am a big Penfolds fan.

Discovering Wine: A light pale yellow wine with a nose of lemon and citrus. It had tastes of lime, lemon and some mineral. The wine exhibited a creamy mouth feel after warming up a little. Nothing distinctive about this wine.

Good example of Aussie riesling, apples with a tart and crips finish. Smells of lemon blossoms. Riesling pretty much as I reckon it should be made, but then I'm Australian!

Color OK, Looks like a yellow spot in the snow. No fruit, mineral or finish.

50+5+13+15+6 Pineapple, meyer lemon, and peach on nose. Mango, loads of lemon on palate, and some cucumber on finish. On the dry side.

Metallic, aluminum-like. Disappointing.

Not much like a reisling. Sort of fizzy.
