Intense nose with a whiff of petrol aromas. With time develops waxy notes and in the end even exotic Gewurtz aromatics. High acidity of small yellow plums, even unripe ones. Concentration and acidity is high. Off-dry, as the fruits are juicy and with a certain sweetness. Finish is tart.

Golden honeyed, kerosene on the nose, Candied lime/citrus notes. Plenty of life & vibrancy left in the wine. A pleasure to drink. A touch more developed than previous tasters notes, but plenty of acidity to ensure we kept returning to our glasses.
A great match to the nights dinner @ Attica (crab/kangaroo/brussel sprouts/roast pork/fig leaf milk ice-cream & poached grapes).

Still bright and crisp. I'd never have guessed that this was almost 20 years old. Zippy acidity, not at all heavy- the citrus and apricot fruit is wonderful in this. Wish I had more.

Blind Wine & Dine (@ Nicolas): I loved the wine, and glad to retry it. Consistent with previous experience : petrol notes, some citrus, round, and good supporting acidity with long finish . It could easily be aged longer without any issue I think.

Clear and golden. Still fresh. Honeyed and Dry. Very very long aftertaste. Intense wine best suited to food.
