Very pale still. The nose has a real coolness about it--fresh lime and petrol, while the palate is quite light and ends with softness suggesting some residual sugar. For better or worse, a remarkable lack of toasty, developed notes.

Beautiful and rich, but not too heavy. Petrol and rubber on the nose. Similar palate with a dry lingering finish with light citrus and just ripe stone fruits. A big fan of this and it is very youthful. Will save the second bottle for 2025 if I can wait that long.

Looked great. Opened for the table blind and I thought it was pretty obvious what it was, clearly a SA Riesling with its cut-lime and ginger/kero aromatics. The palate looked as though it was lacking in acid a touch but the RS may have been overshadowing things there. I thought it was pretty balanced and was a great food complement.

Benchmark Eden riesling with a gentle accessibility cf Clare, but no lack of style or interest. Still years of life in hand.

This was an excellent well aged riesling. It was slightly sweeter and had a light fruity taste. A pleasure to drink.
