Pale Lemon in colour. Aromas of Talc, Lime juice and some herbs. No sign of Kerosene at 6 years. Refreshing in the mouth with Lime and diminished acid - a classic Mount Barker Riesling from a good year. Went there for the first time last Christmas. My last bottle and amazing value for only $15 each. The deal is you buy a dozen for $180 and you drink 2 bottles per year for 6 years. The following night a touch of Turkish Delight on the nose.

Very delicate lemon citrus notes. Powerful acidity, off dry and in a very nice balance, clearly quality fruit. Great package for a sub AU$20 wine

Golden beauty, 2003, how we love finding the golden oldies. Petrol nose, full bodied, stunning fruit on an 11%er

Insanely fresh and entirely citrus dominated on the nose. Wouldn't say I pick up on the kerosene / petroleum notes as much as I've been warned but they are there. Acids pretty legit but can't debate balance, good length
