Have posted previous tasting notes on this wine and vintage. Owned by Melbourne barrister Greg Melick. A couple of years ago I remember banter between @TheSkip and @Bill Bender about the name. If Bill ever becomes a winemaker he can’t take Pressing Matters as already spoken for. This was a stellar Riesling, one of the best for a while. Mid Lemon in colour with absolute clarity. Lime and Lemon flavours with plenty of acidity. Incredible intensity. A beautiful dry Riesling from the Coal River in Tasmania, cruising at 12 years with more life ahead. Traces of paraffin/kerosene on the nose. — 7 years ago

Black cherry, earth funk but brought and fruity. Great balance and acidity. Fun and interesting but also something I could drink regularly. Awesome baby bandol! — 9 years ago

Still in its infancy. Intense acidity, soft undertone of oak, structured and layered with minerality. 2010 — 11 years ago

I got plum, blackberry, leather and cinnamon right off. This also had an excellent finish, very non-tannic and smooth. I will definitely get more of this. Everyone dug it! — 11 years ago

Dark fruit, chocolate, mocha, & dirt. Pleasing/balanced tannins make this finish very smooth and pretty light. — 12 years ago

More gamay-ish in terms of flavor profile, but a great mix of funk and fruit all wrapped into a fun bottle. — 9 years ago

So sad to see Greg end his label because his wines are the real deal, authentic California with incredible balance and sensitivity. Will miss these wines. My final 2007 bottle. — 11 years ago

An absolutely stunning Chardonnay from Greg Brewer's (now sadly terminated) Diatom label. 1800 bottles of this incredible wine were produced. Like a Grand Cru Chablis on steroids, this wine has layers of flavor combined with incredible precision and a finish that just keeps evolving. At nearly 5 years old, this is easily one of the best Diatom wines that I've had (and I've had them all from the first vintage in 2005 to the last one in 2011). Awesome wine. — 11 years ago
