2001 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling

Year in year out Jeffery Grosset produces what is arguably Australia's finest example of Riesling from his Polish Hill vineyard.
This wine is in transition phase. Bright straw colour with green hue. Aromatic nose, honey, lime and spice with some toasted character emerging but not assertive at this stage. On the palate, flavours of lime, some toast and citrus flavours emerge. Again, in transition. Crisp acid backbone. Lime, citrus aftertaste.
Cellar 3-4 years (2007-2008)

Below Notes sourced from Grosset.
The 2001 Grosset Polish Hill is a brilliant wine and is very much in the style of the earlier rieslings from this outstanding vineyard. It is a tight, restrained and austere young white with some lime juice notes on the nose and intense, limey, minerally, slatey flavours and a zingy, bone dry finish of enormous length. As with the best of the Polish Hill Rieslings at a young age, this has impressive fruit purity, finesse, delicacy, balance, great power, a taut structure and a steely backbone.It has less immediate appeal than the 2000 and needs time to become approachable. However, it has all the hallmarks of a great wine: just add patience. Try it in its infancy (Jeff still recommends to drink some young) and then again at five and seven years of age.
