  Taut and linear. Attractive kerosene nose starting to show. Very nice.

  Drank at home. Screw-cap. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, very pale intensity, lemon colour. Thin legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, with hint of petroleum, white flowers, slate and stones minerality. Developing.
  On the palate, bone dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), medium body. Medium+ flaour intensity, with flavours of sine-tingling electric lime, sour citrus lemon, green pear, licking slate and stones minerality, salinity. Piercing medium+ finish. Gets sweeter with more air and when colder.
  Very good quality. Still so much freshness and I feel could last more years if intending for it to develop more aged character.

  Now this is interesting.
  
  An initial hit of lime cordial on the nose before melding into some nice toasty notes with a touch of riper white fruits. Nice balance between freshness, age and ripeness.
  
  On the palate lime cordial is the initial impression lifted on a wave of acidify. But then as the wine washes over the rest of the mouth it broadens and deepens with a textual plumpness, lanolin and wet wool, toasty creaminess spiked with lime. Riper white fruits.
  
  While I had the bottle in front of me, without it tasting blind I would have been tempted to go aged Aussie Semillon. What gives it away as a richer style of Aussie Riesling is the linear lime acidity and sweetness on the back palate.
  
  A lovely example of how inexpensive but quality Aussie Riesling really shines after a few years in bottle.

  Fresh scent of jasmine, green tea, pistachio, pear, citrusy lime & a lemongrass tail.
  This Riesling is like a Sauvignon blanc, with biting acid ending; easy pairing with food.
  
  9 years old, nicely aged and drinking pleasingly well.

  Riesling Refresher 2015: Floral, lime, spice and peaches. Good precision, with the fruit in the background but nicely poised and making sure the wine isn't all acid. Good length. Will develop well.
