  Limey and peachy on the nose, just taking on a little kerosene.
  Limes and lime peel on the palate, creamy texture and some smoky and toasty notes on the finish. Lightish acidity for a Clare Valley riesling which makes me think this isn't one for the long term. This is maturing and opening up really nicely. I've been drinking this over three days and it keeps getting better.

  Pale lemon.
  Pure, flinty, lemon citrus, floral nose.
  High acidity, lemon/lime palate.
  Good wine which should age well.

  {screwcap, 13%} Mild yellow colour;dark for age. Intense nose of lime fruit and limestone. Steely and clean. The palate matches it, medium-bodied, but austere. Kind of impressive but very taut. I don’t drink this style of wine this young as a rule. It’s fine now, in fact the acidity is rather unobtrusive for something this young. I’d have guessed Eden rather then Clare though. Not sure about the aging of this. I suspect shorter term though.
