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
Fresh citrus like Meyer lemon, melons, white tea, and orange blossoms. Dry, bright acidity, one of my favorite wine makers. — 12 years ago
Apparently, in Croatia, they refer to white wine and black wine. They should see this Dolcetto! The Pecchenino brothers are among my favorite wine makers on the planet. The 2010 sirì d'Jermu is still so youthful it just brings a smile on your face with every sip. — 11 years ago

Love Thunderbolt but hard to find. I got this one from the T&T wine club. — 13 years ago
SC Pannell probably one of the best makers of alternative varieties in Australia. Dusty raspberries on nose with a mouth filling savoury palate finished off with assertive tannins. Very good. 17. — 11 years ago

exceptional BdB from the makers of Salon. May be a second wine but nothing second about it! Zesty lemon, tangerine, and some cumquat Rind. Palate is linear with terrific creaminess and mouthwatering acidity. Top way to kick off NYE — 11 years ago
