Abts E de Riesling 2007
This trip to Melbourne has been a 07’ riesling galore! Another incredible Keller, although it did not quite hit the highs of the Kirchspiel. Not an AB comparison, but the nose on this Abtserde was a little less explosive and in some sense tighter. It had more a floral, herbaceous drive instead of the fruit basket the Kirchspiel brought. On the palate it was as deep and rich, while still sporting that mineral, herbaceous, focused backend. A pinnacle level riesling, although in my experience, I felt it had more to offer with a little more time or air. Unfortunately that will need to wait till next time as like the Kirchspiel, it evaporated off the dinner table albeit shared among more (i.e. could have used a little more in my glass haha). — a month ago
Grosset
Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling 2012
Light yellow in colour. Paraffin notes with Toast and Honey on the nose. Good refreshing citric acid (lime and lemon) - still very youthful at 12 years of age. On the palate, purity and power with amazing flavour persistence. Regarded as one of Australia’s Premium Rieslings with good reason. — 7 hours ago

Carmen
Orange blossom and the slightest touch of residual sugar to balance out the razor sharp acidity (and balance out my spicy Thai food). This is a light wine but I can almost taste the slate soils and steep slopes.
