88/100 45

Tangy, toasty Riesling that is already showing a little bottle development. Reasonably intense flavours suggest lime/citrus, floral, mineral and savoury yeast lees characters. The wine has good weight and impressive length.

Tasted: Feb 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $29 (~USD $25)
