Full-ish bright yellow; toasty bouquet now with some buttered toast aspects, gorgeous maturity is showing, the wine still taut and refined, discreet and subtle, but layered with the patina of bottle-age. It retains great delicacy on the tongue. Great wine.

The 2010 Springvale Watervale Riesling has youthfully mute fresh lemon / lime aromas with some lemongrass, crushed stones, lime leaves, coriander seed and a whiff of honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, dry and with crisp acidity, the palate is understandably tight and tense at this youthful stage yet displaying great concentration and a long chalky finish. Consider drinking it 2013 to 2022+.

95 Points James Halliday
Bright straw-green; a generous bouquet and palate, with ripe citrus and tropical aromas and flavours; impeccable line, length and balance. Offers much now, yet more in the future. Drink to 2025.
