87/100 45

Bottle-aged medium/dry Riesling with nice toasty complexity beginning to dominate citrus characters. The texture is also showing the benefit of cellaring as the acidity mellows. A good advertisement for the virtues of ageing Riesling.

Tasted: Feb 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $19 (~USD $16)
