At 12 years of age this shows the ability of Australian Riesling to age - vibrant acidity and our flavors. Medium lemon color with pronounced aroma of lime, lemon oil, candied lemon peel, petrol, honeysuckle, wet stone, flint, toast and beeswax. Piercing acidity and a long finish. Bone dry. — 3 years ago

tropical fruit, some citrusy lime, wet stone and beeswax notes to it. Palate is similar with a pleasant mouthfeel and nice acidity. Great on its own or with food. — 6 years ago

This is an interesting mouthful of wine - citrus tang on the nose, but in the mouth it's like a green papaya salad (spice, lime, fresh tropical fruit). Love it. — 8 years ago

A somewhat muted nose at this point with notes of citrus and wet stone. Juicy and quite dry on the palate with lots of minerality. Much dryer on the palate than the 2014 vintage. Light, juicy flavors of lemon, lime and a touch of peach lead to big, bright acidity and lots of crunchy wet stone and slate notes. The finish is long and very crisp with lots of bright acidity. Great sushi pairing for the evening. — 9 years ago

Comments on here about being 'classic' and green-pepper led. It certainly isn't classic, is very far removed from being herbaceous. It's an elegant and gentle SB, very pale lemon green. Looking for classic Marlborough notes. Mineral, clean, fresh, citrus, lemon, lime, hint of Passionfruit. White flower, elderflower. Very light in style, elegant, very light green notes (like Salad leaf and green pea) lemony, Limey, gentle and very drinkable. From a blend of sites, mainly clay soils. — 10 years ago

Very smooth initial flavor. Light bodied plummy that fills the nose with red berries after swallowing. More intense after it breathes. — 12 years ago

Nano hazelnut chocolate on coffee rye, blackened sponge cake, well done steak, black sesame, lavender and baked blackberry. Well knit.
Graphite glimmers on dark chocolate and cedar-oak slivers, smoky tobacco leaf, and tea. Immersive.

Juicy-fruited, this is unabashedly lime- and peach-forward, with floral and mineral accents playing a secondary role. Acidity is refreshing but not life-ruining. Mouthfeel is pleasantly rounded, belying its moderate abv (11.5%) and crisp, dry finish. Not complex, but pure pleasure, balanced and composed; you’d have to be some kind of dipshit not to love this wine. — 4 years ago

Lime, slate. Floral notes, we’d stone at the front. Good balance and a healthy spine of acidity. As always, excellent — 6 years ago

Very bright and fresh on the nose. Hints of lime, chalk and honey. Very clear on the palate and pretty. A touch simple and not huge length but delicious. — 9 years ago

Right on the money with this Riesling! Straw in color and star bright. Nose was filled with lemon-lime, honeydew, Granny Smith apples, wild honey, citrus blossom, ginger, and new plastic pool toy aromas. The palate was extremely well balanced and the acidity was high and puckering. The tart lemon and lime flavors held through the finish. The finish was surprisingly long, and it was a nice medium-minus body. This Riesling provides a solid compliment to spicy sushi and spicy foods. It holds up strong and has a lot of backbone. All in all, this is your Riesling if you are looking for a refreshing, acidic, dry breath of fresh air. Instant favorite of mine! Washington dry Rieslings are spectacular. Cheers! — 9 years ago

not sure when or where this was purchased but I opened it tonight. Golden yellow, a hint of oxidation quickly disappeared. Very honeyed bouquet, very quiet fruit and acidity, the wine really stretches out after a few sips, apricot and stone fruit, a little lime, some minerals, a lanolin feel, finishes clean and long. Not at the 01 375eme level, not as intense, but a classy quaff. — 3 years ago

08 vintage - decanted for 2 hours & it is just a great blend of fruit, wet rock, with a smooth mouthfeel. A slight tobacco & pepper finish. It's velvet & pairs exceptionally well with creamy stinky cheese. — 8 years ago

First, a person has to pause and realize how lucky they are to drink this wine from 3L. Thanks Clyde for opening. This is in a perfect stage. Such evolution, length, balance, structure. Love the lower 80's alcohol levels. It's rich, lush and near perfect. Dark cassis; ripe and resolved blackberries, dark cherries, black plum w/skin, mixed berry liqueur, tobacco leaf, leather so soft you would wish it as a pillow cover, dry pebbles, dark rich earth, perfect acidity and a rich, elegant, ripe dark fruit finish. In 3L, this wine still has 10-15 years. — 9 years ago

Starting to gain a little color and flavor development, but still comes across as younger than its 7 years. Lime and a little waxy/petrol thing, along with barely ripe tropical fruit. Easy to empty a glass. — 9 years ago
