Jancis Robinson 18.5 points!
"The 12th consecutive vintage we have reviewed here, and none of them below 90 points. The quality of this wine, and Clare Valey riesling in general, is extraordinarily consistent. Grosset Polish Hill is organically grown.
The first time I saw this " a month or so back " there were some clear banana-like, estery notes but they have fast dissipated. This now looks its pristine, clinical, precise self. It's zingy and zesty with elevated fennel and a slight spritz. It's fragrant, punchy with lime rind notes, more or less open for general business though tight and chalky through the finish. In short, pitch perfect."

Jancis Robinson 18.5 points!33rd vintage. Ripe, succulent, very very bright and compact fruit. Like an over-packed suitcase " the flavour is just waiting to burst out. Needs a good deal of time. A tangible, undeniable mineral character here - slate, granite.

A Clare Valley classic. The 2013 Polish Hill is still unevolved but has gorgeous varietal purity. Lime sherbet, apple, blossom and spice notes have a steely overlay, and it tastes precise, zesty and lingering.
Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Age Epicure, 18th Feb 2014.
"Bright, light yellow colour. Restrained, under-developed aromas of lemon and lime, also lemon pith and even a hint of orange peel. The palate is light, delicate, refined and undeveloped. Crushed lime leaf re-appears. It's firm and tight, with a light phenolic grip, and very good poise and precision that bodes well for aging."
