Hand Picked Clare Valley Riesling 2006

A classic example! Still has remarkable acidity, crisp lime and mineral character. I remember it being almost undrinkable in its youth. — 10 years ago

Enterprise Vineyard Shiraz

I had this exact vintage many years ago with very fond memories. It was rich and almost purple blue in colour. This 1999 vintage has been sitting back waiting for another occasion. Now in the bottle for 15 years it has certainly changed from the experience I had in its younger day. Still has long legs yet now resembles a maroon brown appearance. On the nose it has a sharp initial scent that smooths of to almost a port smell. The palate is a light jammy flavour with blackberry and really rounds out to a smooth finish. Loved it years ago and still love it but completely different experience from the first. Wow! — 9 years ago

Bryksy's Hill Vineyard Watervale Riesling 2014

Well made wine, bristling with citrusy acid. Almost tingly. Lingers on the tongue. Seems like it would age very well - it's enjoyable now, but perhaps that searing acid is a touch overwhelming for me while it's still young. — 9 years ago

Enterprise Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

We bought this in 07 visiting the winery. Saved it until last night. Just about rightly aged. Lovely nose, soft tannin. It reminded us of why you cellar wine. — 11 years ago
