  I’m really struggling with this one. I don’t know if it is flawed?, but I’m finding it really unenjoyable. There is a distinct rubbing alcohol smell which hides anything fruity or floral that may be there. It is quite different from the Riesling “petrol” nose. I don’t think I’ve encountered it before. The wine is virtually weightless/watery on the palate. There are hints of jasmine, ginger, underripe peach - but mostly everything subsumed to the smell. Finish is virtually nil.

  NobleRottersSydney - 2006 in Oz (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {screwcap, 10.5%} {Glenn} Surprisingly pale lemon/straw colour for something a decade old. The nose is quite developed, smelling of smoke, dust earth, even oak (which is deceptive ; there’s none here). The palate has both grassy and nutty (not oxidised) flavours, with even a nod to sherry, yet it’s crisp in texture, with a sandpapery/grapeskin aspect too. Medium acid, medium body. Overall, still a bit reticent; suggests it’s a long way off maturity yet.

  Funk and bite on the nose savoury hints, also notes of butter and nougat. Light drying acidity, lanolin waxy texture also quite apparent, "lemony" were other observations. Very delicate palate overall and a very subtle wine. Will live forever

  2013 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Exhibitor's Tasting & Trophy Wines Lunch (homebush & Darling Harbour): [Bronze medal] {screwcap} Lovely, developing nose of beeswax and lanolin. Augers well, but despite the pleasant flavours (see aromas) they all seem to sit right on the tip of the tongue, distorting the structure somewhat. There’s medium acidity, but this is only really light-medium bodied, with something of a short finish. Disappointing; I was expecting better. Time might help, but this doesn’t really hit the spot at the moment. Wait & see.
