90/100 45

Luscious wine with strong botrytis giving honey, licorice and anise flavours that nearly dominate Riesling varietal character. Very sweet wine but not at all cloying. It is showing some toasty bottle development - needs drinking over the next year or two. Good value.

Tasted: Feb 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $30 (~USD $25)
