  Super wine. Honeydew, touch of melon. Acid has soften out, but the wine still holds together. Ripe enough to taste almost sweet, but no obvious RS. Certainly aging, but there's no petrol here. A more polished offering than local wines at this age. Very nice, despite the producer not generally being thought of as top rank.

  Bij oesters, haring en ham. Past bij allemaal door mooie zuren en volle maar elegante smaak.

  A chance buy at a Hobart wine shop in 2004 pays off in a big way! Even at 10 years old this is only mid straw at best. The nose is a glorious blend of apple-like fruits, mineral sophistication and laser-like intensity. Neither big nor oily on the palate, this sparkles with freshness and vitality, sweet ripe fruit, coherent structure and a dry finish. Just medium weight (at 12.5%), the finish is wonderfully persistent. Absolutely outstanding riesling.
