  Straw color, with a greenish hint. Petrol on the nose, with pear. Some acid, but it doesn’t hit me as high. Relatively sweet. I agree with the notes of lime that others have, and slight salinity.

  Didn't realise this was such a (relatively) old vintage until I added this note. Pale yellow colour. A rather toasty, saline nose albeit with adequate lime jelly. The nose carries through to the palate more than usual, a bit acrid to begin with, but there's a wonderful juicy fruit core beneath as I'd expect from this sort of wine. Salt and lime. Maybe it's been on the shelf too long but it's still vibrant and pretty good. [Screwcap; 10% abv; Villeneuve Wines, Edinburgh, £16].

  A little more RS than I remember it having, but still tremendous wine for the price.

  A bit sweeter than I was expecting, but a solid bottle with good minerality.

  An undelineated blob of Riesling flavors with a mediocre structure. Tastes like it costs $14.
