Absolutely stunning wine, showing no sign of aging at all. I know I'm in a minority but I rate the '03 vintage for Reisling in the Clare Vally second only to the glorious '02. A The palate consisted of citrus and passionfruit with a little residual suguar. This wine is right up there with one of the best whites I've had in a long time (not quite as good as the '02 Wilson Vineyard 'DJW' from the same region).
I expect this to drink well for another 8yrs.

Initial aroma of asian limes and lemon followed later by a 'perfumed petrol'. Soft and fullish well balanced wine with the floral fruitiness well matched with the tart acidity. Balance continues on medium length finish. A very good wine but missing the wow

Aroma of petroleum, citrus and flowers. Lemony flavor with a hint of fullness. Nice tart acid. Medium finish.

Pale gold and effervescent when poured. Apple and citrus notes with a lively, acidic feel on the tongue.
