Like the rest of the range, this fruit weathered a testing vintage - a November frost, an extended dry stretch through summer, then a heavy rain event that pushed harvest back further still - and has come through with real purity and structure intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the No. 3 is all citrus and orchard fruit, this one leans floral and perfumed - there's a real lift of jasmine and rosewater on the nose, plus that classic Eden Valley scent of rain hitting warm slate. On the palate it's punchier and more tropical, with a fine mineral backbone running underneath, and the vintage's signature tightly wound acidity drawing everything out to a long, crisp finish. Elegant but not shy - it's got real drive to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother deadset bargain for any Riesling lover from John \u0026amp; Belinda Hughes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The palate is high voltage with salivating acidity and underlying density and concentration of fruit that will unravel beautifully with age.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Ryan Montgomery (James Suckling)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's taut, sleek and lip-smackingly sapid.
