2009 Mt Horrocks Watervale Riesling

First drunk in December 2010, tasting notes were 'Quite restrained. Almost clear in the glass. Nose of lime, a medium length and dry finish. A mineral spine to this wine. While I enjoy my riesling young, this is one worth holding'.

This has really come along. Colour is now a light yellow. It has lost a little zest on the nose, the palate has mellowed and now shows some honey, almost a creamy texture. Minerals are there and provide great sructure. The finish is beautifully balanced. Superb drinking, this could be something spcial in years to come.

My score, 90/100 and getting better.
