Felton Road Dry Central Otago NZ Riesling 2010

93/100 55

Quite a concentrated and assertive wine for a Dry Riesling which, in Central Otago at least, I expect to be more retiring and delicate Strong lime, slate/mineral and a hint of wild flowers. Bone dry thanks to crisp, vibrant acidity. I like it very much now but the wine clearly has great cellaring potential.
