Really lovely. Full of zest and life. Held a beautiful profile in the palate for absolutely ages (even when we had finished dinner and the bottle and while watching Collingwood. And if there's anything to put a bad taste in your mouth it would be Collingwood Football Club).
I still believe, for my palate, that Watervale/Springvale Grosset Rieslings drink better young, while the Polish Hills are better with age. — 2 years ago
Considering how stunning Frauenberg was in 2018 I was even excited to taste this and it did not let down. Stunning nose. Vinous Crabtree and Evelyn. Floral, herbal, lavender, gorgeous. Honeysuckle. Lean and limey as well. Hint of vulcanized rubber I love so much. Apricot, peach skin. So insanely complex. A GG like nose. Complex and concentrated with terrific fruit skin purity and almost a like fruit leather. So mineral and precise and just teeming with energy and a playful, focused yet intense juiciness. The finish is a mile long and gives off citrus and minerals. Amazing texture and so well made. Balanced and super pure with the structure to age for 10+ years. As this airs it picks up a white chocolate, caramel hit in the mid palate which is to die for. — 5 years ago

Awesome nose of insane florals, minerals and just more florals. Like a Crabtree & Evelyn. Melon and citrus develop with air. Palate is at once crisp and linear but also opulent and exotic but it’s all precise and reigned in. Long mineral finish with structure to burn. Juicy and perfumed on the finish. — 2 years ago

Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of green apple and citrus rind. Medium palate echoes the nose bolstered by firm acidity and adding layers of dried fruit, cement, and white pepper. Remarkably long finish continues the palate. Wonderful example of the citrusy Aussie style of Riesling. Excellent with any "white wine" fare, but pork or seafood dishes are particularly good. Drink now through 2036. — a year ago
Outstanding expression of Riesling, plenty of limes and floral notes, rich palate but still tight, long finish. — 5 years ago

A tipping point vintage in the Clare Valley and for some producers a year of Olympic proportions. This wine combines tradition and transformation. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to taste it again, 12 years later. — 5 months ago
