94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Despite the age of this museum release of “Contours,” from Pewsey Vale's oldest, coolest slopes, it's just in its teenage years, with the potential of many more years of cellaring. Pale gold in hue, it's gained secondary notes like lighter fluid, lemon oil, lime leaf and wild herbal undertones, but there's also a fresh floral note still present. The palate is tightly wound and chalky-textured with crisp acidity and a pleasing bitter herbal finish. Drink now–2028 at least. Alcohol 12%. (Aug 2020)"

94 points James Suckling: "This riesling is turbocharged with fruit, including peach pit, apple curd, mango dessert and just a touch of petrol. Very layered and textured on the medium-to full-bodied palate, this carries stone and tropical fruit long and fresh, thanks to acidity that builds. Drink now. Screw cap. (6/26/19)"

94 points James Halliday (Wine Companion): "Out of childhood and into adolescence with the confidence built of the balance the wine has achieved. The aromas and flavours are all citrus-related, acidity neatly aligned with its allies. Closure: Screwcap. 12% alcohol. Drink by 2028. (Feb 2018 )"
