  Medium gold. Lychee. Petrol. Beautifully forward and balanced fruit and acidity. A nice suprise. Going nowhere in a hurry. Unfortunately only 1 forgotten bottle

  Spectacular example of a slightly aged Riesling.

  "2015" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/11/2014-10/16/2014 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {screwcap, 11.5%} I’ll bet even d’Arenberg themselves are surprised how good this is; they have no ‘premium cuvee’ Riesling, and yet this has won trophies elsewhere. This has apple, leaf and honey-like aromas, beautifully aged; similarly on the palate which is offset by a talc-like texture. It’s light-bodied; perhaps a bit simple in flavour, but oh, how beguiling it is; surely at its peak, with acid now starting to fall away; it’s fairly even on the palate and has an attractive medium length finish. Better than the preceding Grant Burge offering, although I wouldn’t keep this longer now.

  Patina: Vibrant, tasty, petrol, crunchy cool tropical fruits, well integrated, good acidity. Great with a few years age on this.
