Impressive stuff. Last tasted about 5 years ago when I was nonplussed and rather hoped that time would help this wine. Well it has indeed. A beautiful balance between fresh acidity and fruit and that classic, but not too heavy, aged Clare Riesling unctuousness. One bottle remains.

Lean, austere with that Clare valley architecture, found it a bit too soft on the finish, wanted a bit more unctuosity and parting salute
