The 2011 Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling is a little closed, revealing subtle hints of wet pebbles, grapefruit peel and white blossom plus a touch of green apple peel. Very crisp, dry and light-bodied, there’s a wonderful freshness to the palate and it finishes long and lemony. It is approachable now, but should drink best from 2013 to 2017+.
The first vintage of the good value Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet was 1976. Back then it was labeled as “Claret” in reference to the style rather than the grapes. In September 2011, Peter Gago put together a vertical of the Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet, going back to the very first vintage.
