"The initially fearsome acidity to the wine has duly softened and integrated; now has an intense, vibrant and lingering palate with lime juice and steely acidity in balance. Rating 94 Drink 2014 Date Tasted Jan 06." James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion.
By Josh Raynolds Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 06 "Bright straw. Spicy, mineral-driven aromas of white peach, pear, green apple and jasmine. Bright and beautifully focused, with sweet apple and pear flavors lifted by talc and a refreshingly bitter note of grapefruit. Boasts terrific fruit intensity and very persistent finishing spice notes of mace and curry. Gorgeous stuff. 90 points."
"The 2004 Riesling is light straw with green highlights. It exhibits aromas of mineral, petrol, honeysuckle and citrus. This is followed by a ripe wine beginning to show secondary nuances from a couple of years of bottle age. Dry and crisp in the mouth, it offers lemon-lime flavors and a medium-long finish. It can be enjoyed now but will continue to evolve for at least another 6-8 years.
Tamar Ridge winery is on the banks of the Tamar River in northern Tasmania. With vineyards located between 41 and 43 degrees south Latitude, Tamar Ridge has more in common viticulturally with New Zealand than it does with mainland Australia." Jay Miller, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct. 2007.
