Drank a small pour at a tasting. This was better than the 2013 I had a few weeks ago, but not by much. There was more complexity along with the dry fruit, citrus and minerality. There was a lot of petrol here, which only intensified with time.

Pale greenish color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Heavy fusil on the nose and palate, the nose continues with lime and grapefruit. The palate is fairly fruity, mineral, lemon, citrus oil, oily texture. This was pretty good overall, borders on being a bit over the top with fusil.

Brilliantheldere lichtgele kleur met groene rand. Het boeket geurt naar citrus en limoen enerzijds en mineraliteit anderzijds. Deze geuren vinden we ook volop terug in de smaak en leiden tot een lang nazinderende finale die omwille van de bijzondere knisperende frisheid steeds weer uitnodigt tot een volgende slok.

(Leeuwin Artist Series Riesling) #1; COLOR-golden; NOSE-not too fruity; petrol and burnt tire action; a little apple and pear; PALATE-this is bone dry; intriguing minerality -- almost like crushed rock meets pears and apples (a fruit salad with some rocks); good acidity; really well made wine; showing really made; exceptional value at $14 bones; JM-90; GV-90

great petrol, citrus/lemon and minerality with oily mouthfeel and a long and lingering finish.

Slate, lemon, apple; quite dry. Good, but not so interesting to me.
