2005 John Gehrig Wines RG Riesling

Brilliant very pale straw colour with slight greenish tinge around the edges and watery hue still looking very youthful. The nose displays toasty kerosene like top notes followed by some lemon and spice. The palate boasts excellent concentration and mouthfeel counterpointed by a crisp acid structure. Mouthfilling flavours of lime, citrus and spice with a toasty overlay and some kerosene like characters beginning to emerge on the back palate. Clean crisp dry finish with a long aftertaste of lemon, toast, spice and kerosene.
Drink now or cellar 4-5 years for further tertiary complexity to develop (2011-2016).
Alc 12.5%
