4.5 Stars
Huon Hooke
Light yellow, very good colour for age. Dry slate and rocky minerally nose. Faint citrusy hints too. Excellent palate - flavoursome and deep, fresh and youthful, but full and has generosity. Real richness and breadth in mouth but retains tightness and refinement. Dry finish.

The crisp 2005 Riesling Reserve Bin exhibits notes of honeyed grapefruit, wet stones, rose petals, and figs. It should drink well for 1-2 years.

95 Points James Halliday
Light green-straw; still incredibly fresh and tight; has fine apple and lime flavours with minerally acidity much in play on the long palate. Dual trophy winner Qld Wine Show '09. Drink to 2020.
