Tim Adams Riesling 2007

Mouth-wateringly tangy and refreshing this long, smooth and citrusy riesling reveals a hint of buttered toast and honey beneath its aromas of pear, apple and white flowers. Underpinned by fine, chalky phenolics, its long, lingering palate of crunchy and slightly candied juice and lemon, becoming richer and more generous with time in the glass. (Clare Valley, 18.4/94, drink 2012-2015) Jeremy Oliver

It's flowery and packed with assorted citrus fruits and spice and an intense palate offering lime, grapefruit and apple flavours. On the palate dry and minerally with squeaky acidity and a lightly chalky texture closing with a good long tangy citrus finish. It offers an abundance of riesling flavour, delivered with precision and grace. A very convincing wine. 93 points. Gary Walsh, Winorama
 
Limes, more limes, lemons and grapefruits. By now you get the hint that citrine is the major player here. Very citrine in fact. Yet with a touch of delicacy as well and a hint of minerality to take the edge off it and give it a good clean fresh acid structure. It lingers long and finishes with a delightful tanginess and zest. Try it with battered whiting fillets. Paul Ippolito, The 5-Minute Wine Rush

Lively riesling ... unmistakadly Clare Valley ... It's aromatic and youthful with intense citrus lemon and lime on the bouquet and palate, mineral characters, a balanced acidic backbone and a crisp, dry finish. Drink it with freshly shucked oysters or cellar for a decade or more. Kerry Skinner

The green/straw colour of this wine gives way to a lifted aromatic zesty nose. The palate is vibrant with crisp acidity and plenty of lemon/lime characters. It also displays a mineral backbone with plenty of fruit readily expressing itself now. However, with the Clare/Eden Valley rieslings, the best wines (such as this one), show themselves long after their vintage ... You can drink them now while young and fresh but my firm advice is to put them down and save them for another time and place. Jim McMahon
 
This is always among the finest rieslings produced in the Clare Valley ... It's rapier-sharp and beautifully focused, still bright with characters of lime and blossom, and with a structure in which the alcohol plays second fiddle to the acid. Tony Harper, Brisbane News, 2 April 2008

Tim Adams has consistently produced wines of exceptional depth of flavour. James Halliday
