The Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut combines finesse and intense lemon and pear characters in its aroma. The palate is equally fine, with moderate sweetness – we call it semi-luscious – and the intensity builds through the mouth to give it great length. Lots of lemon, lime and citrus peel with a very rich and honeyed, with full, intense flavour. This has been a consistently fine wine for many years and this vintage continues the line. 'This is a lovely wine from the Clare Valley. From a cool vintage that resulted in some excellent dry-style rieslings, and which proved ideal for this style. There is a pristine freshness about it with notes of tangy spicy ginger and richer orange marmalade. Glorious current drinking and has developed into something of a benchmark for the style. 95/100' - West Australian, Perth, 14 Mar 2013.
