For a Riesling over 10 years old this still looks remarkably youthful and fresh. A very pale straw core is surrounded by greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Intense lime, citrus and kerosene like scents intermix with oily toast like characters, light honey and steely notes. Fresh lime and citrus flavours abound over an oily kerosene, faint honey and wet steel back drop. Finishes dry with crisp acidity ensuring an enduring life ahead. Some toast, subtle buttered honey and steely mineral characters linger on the long proficient aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews…..
The wine is still unbelievably young. Bright straw-green, beautifully poised and balanced on ballet shoes of acidity, the lemon/lemon curd flavours of the wine providing top class hedonistic pleasure. Drink by 2034. Tasted March 2019.
