"93 Points. Well, this is a very good release. It’s floral, a little spicy, has flavours of lime and green apple, a nice crunch to it and fine chalky texture, balanced acidity, with a juicy finish of excellent length. Easy to drink now, and for a young Riesling has a low wince factor. Tasted: Oct26 11% alc. $30 Screwcap. Drink: 2026 - 2035+"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
