  This is a raging riesling. Love it. It’s in a lovely window right now. Depth and complexity now on show. Really liking the texture from what I assume is a decent amount of time on lees. Bright, floral fruit stands up to the acid line, which is towards the higher end but absolutely a key feature of the length and persistence of this. My now favourite Aussie riesling estate!

  Quite a different experience with this bottle. Still floral notes but more muted. The fruit is medium intensity with lemon, green apple and grapefruit. There is a hint of minerality. High acidity with a medium finish. Very refreshing.

  More petro than previously - developing nicely! Plenty of lime blossom still, nice balance (note the slight r.s. though). Get more and age

  Western Australia Wine Tasting (Australia House, Strand, London): This seems very young still, petrol and pear, high acidity, med finish, the nose needs time to really open up.
