Oz Clarke, 250 Top Wines 2011 (UK) October 2011 — Rates Tim Adams 2008 Riesling in his Top 20 Oz Clarke, 250 Top Wines 2011, October 2011 One of the great bargains of the wine scene. World-class Riesling for less than a tenner. It is strange how we’re so unwilling to give Riesling the plaudits it deserves – but try it once and you’re certain to go back again. Just sip this fabulous citrus zesty liquid, boiled lemon and apple peel, a whole coil of Granny Smith peel, pith and zest and chalk, and then leather and aniseed and shortbread dough.

Top Aussie White - A good wine to either drink young or cellar up to eight years... Huon Hooke, The Maitland Mercuty , February 2011 A fine, floral aroma greets the nose. This is a delicate, refined, highly aromatic riesling of impeccable freshness and quality. It's tight and dry in the mouth but not too tart or firm. A good wine to either drink young or cellar up to eight years. Download Snippet

CLASSIC: Tim Adams 2008 Riesling Huon Hooke, Australian Gourmet Traveller WINE, July–August 2009, July 2009 A classic Clare riesling: dry, crisp and tight. Bready, dried wildflower aromas, with citrus and floral flavours. Dry but smooth in the mouth, with seamless flow. A very fine wine, which is great now with fish, but will richly reward even short-term cellaring. Download Snippet
