"What a follow-on from the superlative 2002 vintage! Its penetrative, floral and smoky aromas of pure lime, lemon and apple overlie a slightly funky and minerally background of chalky, earthy complexity. Fine, taut and shapely, its wonderfully open expression of pristine riesling flavours are tightly punctuated by sherbet-like acids and underpinned by fine, chalky phenolics. Superbly long and structured, it’s an essay in balance and concentration. World class. (Eden Valley, 19.5/98, drink 2015-2023+)"  98 pts, Jeremy Oliver (www.jeremyoliver.com.au), 11.27.05.

"Aromas of lime/lemon, apple, a little petrol, lavender and fennel bulb. Touch of asafoetida powder (reduction). On the palate delicate lemon/lime, minerals, dirt, lilac and crystallised violet (I’m feeling esoteric today) and some toasty development. Fabulous clean acidity. Beautifully pure and direct with remarkable length of flavour. Brilliant riesling. The reduction worries me a little but I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt."  96 pts, Winorama.com.au, Oct. 21, 2006.
