2008 Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling

Top shelf! The cordon cut is an old favourite but I've not tasted the '08 before. It's almost effervescent. The colour is taking on a more yellow appearance, an almost amber colour. Lime and apricot, acid and sweetness in perfect balance. This will gain further complexity with time. Delicious, 91/100. Buy again - absolutely, a bargain at $23.
