Pale to mid crimson. Palate showing sweet cherry and plum fruit with spicy oak. Delicious now with short term cellaring potential. Proving once again how suitable Adelaide Hills is for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. (Also does great cool climate Syrah. ) — 7 years ago
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! — 7 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. — 4 months ago
