  A bit short and lacks of complexity so far to be 90 pointer, but the wine shows greatly on an easy going very ciitrusy riesling style.
  
  With loads of lemon, lime, and bright style on the nose
  
  palate is quite bright and sharp, with good acidity, not complex, simple aromas of lemon, and lime... otherwise it d rank way better, lets forget it for a while and taste some later 2/3 years at least

  Mid yellow. On the nose there is classic dry Riesling aromas- cut citrus, lime cordial, and just a whiff of petrol. The palate presents as bone dry with bracing acidity. Apparently this sees seven months in acacia wood barrels but if so that hasn’t added a lot to the wine except maybe the colour. This would be an excellent ring in at a tasting of dry Australian rieslings. I expect this can cellar nicely for at least the mid term 3-5 years. 91-92pts.
