Very dry. Taste and body seemed to remind me more of a Sauvignon Blanc at this point. I was in the mood for something a bit fruitier and sweeter but it was an enjoyable wine none the less.

It is an acceptable reisling at a bargain price. it lacks, at this point, the freshness and fruitiness that a good reisling provides, but the fruit is still prominent albeit somewhat sweet for my taste.

Bone dry, showing some citrus fruit character and a little grass, and possessing zingy acidity. Very SB-like, actually, and not in a bad way. This paired nicely with lemon chicken but leaves the impression that its fruit is perhaps fading. WS rated an 89 but its drinking window ended in 2007. It does not really show any petrol or aged riesling nuances. This remains a nice summer white, but one to drink soon.

South African Wines - VERY LONG; 10/5/2005-10/6/2005 (the Modern): i am tough on rieslings. this had a tropical nose light body and a bit sour finish.
