'Concentration of fruit flavour is what sets this apart. It is comparatively rich but manages to be refined and subtle at the same time. It has creamy, nutty, yeasty and citrusy aromas with searing intensity in the mouth. It's properly dry, with a very long finish.'

'Grosset has sailed to the front of the field in the 2008 vintage, capturing impressive definition and fragrance. Plenty of slate and minerals here, really zesty and flavour-packed, lime juice and peel, finishing right on the mark.'

'One thing I was interested to see was whether the Watervale/Springvale riesling and Polish Hill were clearly identifiable from one another when tasted blind. They were. In some ways it's a mean, lean riesling of the polarising type but there's such spicy, slatey mouthfeel through the mid-palate that you can't really categorise it as that. This has length and texture and style. There are subtle hints of gunsmoke and of course rounds of lime I like this a lot.'

'Wow, says one judge. Check the huge volume of lifted kaffir lime. In fact, we all were stunned by the solid nature, full of body and intensity, lots of presence on the palate, with a flawless balance of oils and lemon and lime acidity. It has a real drive to its palate and is a most pleasing style. Its 2007 sibling also received very high points.'

'Even though it's one of the most expensive rieslings you can buy, Grosset's '08 Polish Hill is the best riesling I've tried all year. More restrained aromatics than the Watervale are more than countered by the incredible power of the palate. It is mouth-wateringly delicious with minerally taughtness that defies belief. Just try one to experience riesling nirvana.'
