There are always various references on wine forums regarding Australian Rieslings and Petaluma is usually right up there. This was my last bottle of the `03 vintage and the least successful, having heard that there was still a future for this particular wine. I think a sign of a leaking cork did not help here? I see that some bottles were SC (cellar tracker).
Color was verging on a deep gold which was not a good sign as previous bottle was only mid yellow if that.
Nose was slightly oxidised, no gasolein, some apricot with citrus tones.
Palate entry was dry, starting to fade, backbone of citrus. Nothing to excite really, apricot shows up, lengthy finish but expected more. Serving staff at the Grill were not overly impressed.
Pity as all other bottles were top notch.
