An Australian icon-aged Clare Valley Riesling (in those days called Rhine Riesling unfortunately due to our country's slim knowledge base but later corrected against a barrage of opposition from conservatives and industrial makers of riesling, but not using riesling!) Classic glass of flavour; #honey #burnttoast #agedriesling #brulee #butter #crunch #yum #mouthful #watervale #treasuryestates ; wine made by the great man John Vickery before his defection to Richmond Grove when the Fosters people closed the brand down; but now it is back! Wine won three gold medals in the year of production-1990; probably never shown since. 12.5%; 1990 a terrific red year, usually not so for riesling; this had backbone; sweet acidity; nut power. — 11 years ago
Winner for most surprising wine of the night. Still vibrant and really delicious. #Napa #icon #cabernet #msclassic — 9 years ago
It's been a few years since last visiting this icon and midnight on a Sunday seemed like a good idea. #Absolutelyoutstanding and preferred over all of its peers. Opulence in the autolysis department yet enough fruit to balance and keep it focused. Quintessential 'spoil yourself' champagne at the top of the class. If only I could make it a weekly event..TS — 10 years ago
Continues to carry the flag for Texas wines. To me, this is the icon of Texas wine production. Consistently velvety red fruits, leather, a little jalapeño jelly, and soft tannins. — 10 years ago

Icon. Future of serious Vinho Verde, even more serious Alvarinho. Amazing wine! — 11 years ago
The pale straw '10 Nobilo Icon Sauvignon Blanc has fresh aromatics of pink grapefruit, citrus peel, gooseberry and a hint of litter box. The refreshing palate has flinty minerality and juicy acidity. It's a little more restrained than most NZ SB's. Nice tropical fruit in the generous and persistent finish. — 12 years ago
Not its best version, still too young still, but one can I say? An icon, Alicante's mentor! — 9 years ago

Big floral red fruit, über inviting but with a slate/mineral pull on the finish. — 10 years ago
