Garnet core , quite wide bricking terracotta rim . Quite Subtle on the nose , red fruits , orange rind , sous bois , spice , violets . On the palate very refined , crystal clear red fruits , raspberry , cherry , touch of black currant , black tea , pin point acidity , very fine tannins . Very long and complex. Drinking well though will go on for ages still and certainly improve over the next 10-15 years. — a year ago
On Crystal Serenity cruising the Mediterranean. In Livorno tonight. Had 1/2 the bottle last night, the balance tonight. Always a dependable wine. — 5 years ago

Gorgeous showing with plenty of life left, fresh and open for business on day 4. As always, crystal clear yet juicy and buoyant fruit, a strong damp mineral core, framed by inviting aromatics of fines herb, hay, and citrus blossom. Citrus, melon, yellow plum. Outstanding. — 2 years ago
Mid Gold in colour - crystal clear. Kerosene/mineral notes with some chalky aromas. Pristine citrusy flavours coming into the stone fruit spectrum. Medium minus acid but medium plus intensity. (12.5% ABV). A well made Eden Valley Riesling drinking at its peak. — 5 years ago
Bubbles were long gone but you still tasted the crystal underneath — 7 months ago
