Glad I got to this before it went any further. I always enjoy these old Clare wines, but that goodness they had the good sense to move to screw cap long ago. Last attempt at this'98 went down the sink. This cork pretty much vaporised on contact with corkscrew, but it had done a good enough job of protecting the wine. Toast and lime cheesecakey notes, and enough life to hum citrusly across the palate.

This is why Aussie Riesling should be bottle aged. Exquisite petrol and orange marmalade. Dry to the bone.

Ande & Chaz, Pully - great balance between acids and butter. Good amount of minerals too.

Well priced I think. A little sharp to start with, but rounds itself up to be a pleasant drink. Enjoying it with fresh sashimi & agedashi tofu.
